i was wondering what the easiest way to move a cab from one frame to another would be. any suggestions? thanks

the obvious answer is 4-5 big guys and a case of beer

Agreed...however, cab first...beer last.

thanks for the suggestion, i tried with 4 guys but couldnt get it. i ended up using a floor jack, cinder blocks and some angle iron and pulling the old frame out from under it. thanks again for the help.

Wow... never heard of one being that stuck.

yeah, all interior and dash was still in, fuel tank was still in, and doors were still on.

that pretty much doubles the 500 or so pounds you were trying to lift.
