swaping the cab...... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Thanks everyone for the advice on swaping my cab. I guess I was just woried about droping it or scratching it because it was all painted and the doors were hung. Well after waiting 2 weeks for a car lift to be open, yesterday me and my dad figured what the hell. We took the cab mounts off and tried to move it,and to our supprise it was a lot lighter than we expected. So we called 3 more guys over and in under 5 minutes it was switched. So if there was a lesson to be learned, it`s don`t be a wimp.....here it is after it was swaped. Some motor shots to. Thanks john

People want to look, they're just afraid. Besides, you've had over 170 peeks when I just came entered.

Is it me, and it probably is, but there's something about an exposed and painted frame that makes ya want to disassemble something.

Looking good.

looks good... my little bit of advice.... cover that intake with masking tape or something if you plan on leaving it carb-less for very long... Flat washers are a b!tch if they get in where they shouldn't be...
