I just used a 2" wide strap like a tow strap. I just run it through the under side of the roof, (with the doors off). I also used a 2x4 over the roof, (nailed to the strap), (over kill) to keep it f

I put two 2 x 8's together to make a 4 x 8 and put it through the door openings and lifted with a front end loader on a tractor. Worked great. Blaine Dumkee Fort Smith NT Canada http://photos.yahoo.c

4 of us have moved my '55 cab on several occasions. It's not light but 4 of us were able to manage it. The option you have other than 4 big guys, is what you said .. hoist it up. I've seen people do

I'll be looking forward to the answers on this question, Steve. My truck is in about the same condition except that I also removed the doors, windshield and back window--probably another 150 pounds.

It took 4 of us to pull the cab off of the 59; the only thing left was the windows. We just lifted straight up onto a perch. There she sits. It was not nearly as heavy as it looked! Either that, or t

When I took my cab off, I had fairly limited head room, and rolling the frame out from under the cab wasn't an option as 2 of the 4 wheels were seized at that time. After taking the doors off, I bol
