Tips on cab swapping?

Looking for some good advice when stripping down two cabs, removing one and replacing it with another.

I've got lots of room to work in, just short on time... but this needs to get done regardless of how little time I have left in my summer.

If it comes down to it, the only things that are going to get wired back up are the ignition and anything else important (just to make her start).

Any suggestions?

EDIT: The less I have to do.. the better...

in my experience its best to just set one on the ground, set the new one on the frame, and pull all wiring out of old and swap into new just because it will all plug right in and be very simple(maybe 2 hours on one of these old trucks) dont be afraid of it its very easy. along with the help of 1 buddy my toyota cab swap took a total of 7 hours and they do not have a removable front end its all made to the cab. this shouldnt take anymore than a weekend even for someone whos never done it
