possible to swap cabs with engine in?

The bed is off and the front end is removed but I wonder if I can get away without pulling the engine. Too risky?

Yes you can do it, just lift it straight off, and make sure the firewall dosen't hit the dizzy. I did it...

Just remember to remove anything that connects the cab to the frame, like master cylinder, harnesses ect... pick it up, and pull it back as soon as you can to gain more "swaying room" and you'll be OK.
