cab help

im going to swap my cab from frame to another frame friday.i have several heavy straps that they use in picking up modular houses so i know they will stand the weight of the cab.
my buddy with the wrecker says to run straps through cab and lift with the wrecker.
will this bend my cab or doors or do i need to remove doors.were just picking straight up and roll frame out and other one in.
any ideas on this thanks

Re: cab help

Close the doors and put a 2x6 throuth the door frames.
Use a strap under the 2x6 and over the top, that will prevent the strap from bending up your drip rails

Re: cab help

This is how I swap them. I use a strap through the window openings and chains to tag it steady...

Re: cab help

Hey Tx, What a show off. You won't mind loaning the loader for an occasional cab/bed removal install. will you?
