I just got the cab off the frame. The cab is headed to the body shop and the frame will soon be going in for powder coating.

I used my engine hoist to pick the cab off the frame by making a cradle and bolting it to the top of the hoist. Then I pushed the hoist and the cradle into the door openings and picked it up at the top of the door jams. It worked out really well.

I also put the fiberglass firewall panel on to fill the holes and smooth it all out. I got the firewall panel from Brothers.
