I used the engine hoist. Use a 2x6 about 6ft. long. Place the boom in the middle of cab and lift. Works great!!!

just spread the legs onto some sound locations and unbolt and lift away!

I was fortunate enough to have freind let me use his garage with the lift when I did my frame swap. at work Ill either remove the windsheild and put a pallet on the fork drive up put the pallet thru the window opensing and lift away or I will strap it from the top and pull it that way. Good luck have Fun Matt

That is a much better way then I did it LOL I went from the top. I'll do this very soon as the cab will soon go under the knife

Is that just pushing the cab up on the piece of wood?
Or is there chains in there?
