I cheated Phil. I used to front end loader on my tractor. Actually I've used it pretty much every day this week to bring it outside and sandblast then put it back into the shop that evening. And I agree with above, put your strap as close to the windshield area as you can. They are front heavy and it will want to flip forward.
Does any of your neighbors have a tractor, backhoe, etc? Give me a yell if you need help. I'm just up the road.

Like some of the others, I used my engine hoist for cab lifts on my current '41 project. I too needed to maximize the height of the lift. So I used a pair of 12" long 2x6's sandwiched on either side of the main lift arm (with a 1/2" bolt securing it to the arm) and attached to a pair of 2x4's that span the width of the cab. The added height helped and I adjusted (shortened) the main lift arm a notch to gave a more stable lift of the cab. Very handy ... no more "cab lift parties" required.

Man, right before I pulled my cab I searched for it on here and didn't find much. Seems like several guys pulling cabs just this week!
Here's how I did mine. Very easy, very stable.

Well that sucks. Don't worry man. I've got a great physical therapy regimine worked out for just that thing. It involves wrenching on an F1. Kind of like "wax on, wax off", but I call it "tighten the bolt, loosen the bolt". No just kidding. Hate to hear you're down like that. The truck will be there when you're better.
