Re: Off Frame?

here's a quick how to:
-remove brake and clutch pedals by unbolting them from the linkage.
-disconnect throttle linkage.
-disconnect parking brake linkage rod.
-remove starter pedal
-remove steering column/box. unhook (or cut) any wires and the speedo cable.
-unbolt the cab from the frame - it is four bolts. the rear unbolt from the bottom, the front you have to hold the nut on the bottom with a wrench while you remove the bolt from the top
-remove the doors by unbolting them from the hinges (2 bolts per hinge)
-slide in you lifting contraption and lift the cab off

here's my lifting contraption:


sliding it in:


lifting (i should have centered it better so it would sit more level):




set it down on a dolly to roll it round on:


put it in the shop:

I did mine the same way you did. It really works well.
