Changing a truck cab

If you're using a strap, make sure it's a good heavy duty one. If it breaks, it'll make that good cab second hand in a hurry. I usually pull the doors first but I don't guess you really need to. Mainly lightens it up a bit. If the new cab needs any work or if it's going to get a complete resto or repaint, I'd take it apart first and just handle the bare cab. For sure pull the seat, gas tank, column, e-brake, hood, fenders, and everything on the engine side of the firewall that hooks to the engine or frame. (wiring, brake, clutch,etc.) I wouldn't worry about breaking any glass if you're just doing an easy lift off. If it going to get a repaint, do the rear of the cab and the front of the bed while it's apart. Hang a thick moving blanket over the front of the bed when you reinstall the cab so you don't damage anything.
