One Man Cab Removal - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Today I removed my cab. The engine hoist along with a couple of pieces of 2x4 allowed me to remove it by myself. No other special tooks required. I put it down on jack stands but plan on making a cab dolly soon.

The 2x4 is balanced on the top end of the hoist. It was fairly easy to get it balanced. As you can see cab is front heavy. I would have prefered a 4x4 but didn't have one handy. Becareful if you try it yourself.

Plenty of rust to remove, but the frame needs a lot of work first.
