Tweet

well the previuss owner that had my 72 bought it as a 69 ok but the guy he bought it from went to jail before he got it transferd
so he found a 72 fram for it and titel etc..........well i bought it it was all unbolted well most of it and anyways now i got the frame ready to switch the cab almost and have no ideal how cause we done good to pick the bed up cant even budge the cab......and i was thinking that somone here mite have done somthing like this before.

any ideals will be apreciatted

thankyou

is the steering still hooked up? what about fuel lines, the tank is in behind the rear seat so fuel lines could be holding it. Sounds like it may be still mounted somewhere, make shure all mounts are disconnected.

all mounts are unbolted the sterring is still hooked up but not for long but even when i get it all undone i still cant pick it up and put it on the other fram

shure theres no hidden mounts? just check the underside carfully for possible hidden locations, then spray all mounting places with PB blaster because it's not impossible that the cab is rusted fast to the frame, pb blaster works good for eating rust.

cab Is very very heavy best way I know of if you dont have acc to a lift would be to rig up a A-frame with a chain hoist some thing that look like a tee pee or you can all so use camper jacks you should have 4 to 6 bolts that mount cab plus a couple ground straps

Im glad to see It got your attention that means Im doing it right 1230 it only a 11 00 hear Im wating for georg noory to air on the radio I listen to him every nite till usally till 3am

Grab the big guys in the area and buy them a motivational case of beer. lol ...anyone have a hoist near you? cause you can just extend the arms into the door area and lift, move frame, then insert new frame.

Remove the doors & take a 4x6 and put thru the door opening at the front near the post, that's going to be your bal. point & use your cherry picker in reverse.....it will push too ya know, lift it up & shove the chassis out from under it. Easy, do it all the time.
You might want to strap the cherry picker to the 4x6, they tend to slide if you snatch on it.

hey i never thaut of that hambiskit i will tyr it and the only a-frame around me is to big to move and i cant get the truck to it so i will try the 4by6 sounds like it should work if you get it balanced right but thanks for all of the i deals i would of never thout oh them.

thank's

be very careful if you have never done it. it will hurt you do not do it by your self you should have at another person there I had a body come down on me once let me tell you It no fun I was stuck under it for three hours before anyone got to me . man do me a favor and use extreme causation and be careful

oh trust me i real be careful you dont just play with stuff that big lol i will secure it good as i can i mite find another way to do it but havent yet theres a guy (my uncle Tom )that has a place down the road that has been SAYING that he was going to build a a-fram for about a YEAR but no progress yet


you think it mite go a little faster if he ever starts on it

ok i got it off

i got it all off the ole frame i did use the engine hoist but i tied a rope tru the windowes it barly made it but i got it off about time lol.

thanks for all of the i-deals anyways
