question for anyone who has done a cab change

Ok, here's my story, I have a 76 c10 3 speed on the column, I am trying to get a cab for it. I looked at the 86 k10 we have out front to find the cab mounting bolts, I can see the front 2 easy, one on either side. Where are the back ones? Pics would help greatly. I know the fronts are in the round rubber w/ a round pedistal that comes off the frame, I assumed the backs were too but not on the k10. I am not able (at this time) to get under the c10 and look due to it being at my grandma's and not here. So if someone has some pics showing me where they are I'd be grateful to you. I would also like to know any tips or tricks you have used to make taking one off easier, like removing the bolts or just cutting thru them and the rubber mounts to use new mounts.
Anything I could use and would be helpful to removing one. More then likely I will have to remove the one I get for the 76 off a frame too. So I'l have 2 cabs to remove and put the donor cab on the 76 frame.

My next question would be how many guys did it take to raise the cab off the frame and put the other back on?
My dad claims them to be no heavier then a complete bed, I think they would be heavier, we have removed a bed from an s-10 before a 92 using ratchet straps to lift the front allowing us to slide in landscape timbers, which then allowed us to lift each side seperately by grabbing the 2 timbers, raising one side and sliding a saw horse under the timbers, then doing the same on the other side. So how heavy are they? Two average man job? or more average men needed? By average I mean 2 guys about 5,9 to 5,10 around 175-180lbs. I think I'll need more then me and my buddy what do yall think?
