I wish I had the resources like that to get my cab off. I haven't ventured to figure out how I'm going to do the same on my F500... way taller than my picker will ever lift to.

I removed my cab with the help of two big friends of mine. We had a set of moving straps called "forearm forklifts" Keep in mind everything was removed from my cab including glass before we did this. they lifted the cab from each side with the straps under the floor of the cab and I lifted at the front at the firewall and kept it from tipping forward and we slowly walked it off the frame.
