Removing the cab...??
I am taking the cab off the frame today to start cutting down the frame...Anything I should know, any trick to make things easier...Plan on taking off the doors as well...How heavy will this thing be, is it more than a two person lift? Thanks

Its pretty heavy if the doors and interior are still in it. Me and my dad lifted mine on but it was completely stripped and i would guess it was still about 350 lbs.
