Pulling a cab, Need some advice

Hey gang,

I am trying to pull my cab off a 54 F750. Will the steering box, fit through the brake-clutch pedal opening on the floor board.

I have to pull my oil filter out to get the steering box away from the frame, then I am wondering if i can retract the whole unit back into the cab

Thanks all

When I installed one in my 55 years ago when I had the original box it did fit through the opening. I know the cabs are the same I'm not sure your truck box is bigger than the F-100.

You'll be good to go through the floor opening.
