no turning back now
since ol' Lefty pissed me off last weekend I decided it was a good time to tear her apart. the dolly I made for the cab actually worked pretty good. I forst removed the box, then rolled the lower portion under the frame. next I jacked up the frame & bolted the upper part to the door openings. then I let the jacks down & "viola" th cab was off the frame & ready to roll off the rear.
all I need now is to hijack the checkbook & run down to the store for an engine hoist & engine stand. things went so much smoother with the help of BigBlockNRoll & a few of my neighboors what do I do next? the cab? the box? the caddy swap? the in-depth frame & suspension changes?

Plan on starting my cab swap tomorrow (if the weather permits
 ). Since I don't have a shop I'm gonna have to climb a tree and hang a chain fall off a limb.
