Cab restoration
When removing the cab during restoration, is it safe to lay it on the rear cab wall. I was planning on getting some dense foam insulation like used on a house. Laying that on my garage floor then setting the cab on it back on that. Any suggestions?
thanks

Thanks, I am only 21 and no kids. I planned on making a "sub-frame" to attach to the bottom of the cab then use my chain hoist and chain to rotate, then lower the cab. Thanks again

Sounds like a good reason to call on some fellow Board Members. Anybody around Efland that can lend some muscle? I'm sure you will get some responses, if not, try posting another thread calling out NC members. I live in Indiana, otherwise I'd be glad to help. Good Luck!!

2 2 by 6s put themgoing straigh up about 2 feet apart parallel going up the back of the cab. then nail a short 2x6 under the bottom lip of the back of the cab to the standing up ones. then put a strap holding htem to the cab so it is tight. then pull back slowly. like a big lever. make sure they stick out of the bottom of the cab enogh. osrry need a picture. good luck, BEn
