putting cab on frame with windshild?
can i install my windshield and then put the cab back on frame? seams it would be much easier to install W/S sitting down low and being able to work around the front. will be using my cherry-Picker to in stall the cab.

Re: putting cab on frame with windshild?
Seems awfully risky to me. I'd hate for there to be any twisting that could cause the glass to crack. I've never done it though, so I have no backup. Just thinking...

Re: putting cab on frame with windshild?
Don't know about that but I ran heavy duty tow straps through my side windows and back over the top hooked to a chain hoist in the rafters and removed and reinstalled my cab three times with no problems!

Re: putting cab on frame with windshild?
A buddy of mine has a truck lift that I will be using to lift my cab. I do like your idea there 61K10.
