First we tried to lift the cab and put some blocks underneath it, so we could put the forks under it..then we realised this cab is going to be scrapped, so we jammed then against the roof!


Then we cut out a piece of the firewall, because the new cab has a big dent right in the part where you mount the pedals.

The foot of the shifter was also welded down to the cab!!


then we dropped it in a trailer, which turned out to be a bit small...


Now I'll make shopping list of things I think I'll initially need, later I'll get down to the nitty gritty. I'll post it here and you guys can tell me if I've left anything out.
If you have the room I would set the cab out side or some where For u never know what pieces you can canibalize from the old cab. it does not eat anything setting there and it might save you money in the long run.
