96' Cab Removal
My name is Grant. I've always looked at this forum for some how-to's on certain things but joined today to try & receive some input from some of you that may be more knowledgeable in this area.
I'm wanting to do a ground up restoration on 96' Single Cab 7.3. This is all started with my twin I beam being bent from running off the road in this last snow storm here in Kentucky. I'm buying a 4:10 straight axle next week to swap in. But I want to remove the cab to sandblast the frame & paint it. Also want to go over the motor really well. New injectors & O-Rings & what not.
I have all the equipment necessary to lift the cab off the frame. I'm just looking for some tips & tricks that some of you all might know that has done this before. Any input will be greatly appreciated!

Anything in specific? I've never done a cab removal before. I was thinking main wire harnesses, steering coupler, throttle, ac lines, brake & clutch master cylinder....

Tag and bag everything, you will be surprised how fast things come apart and you might not recall half of where what you took out goes when it comes time to put it all back. I would soak all the bolts for a few days in PB or any other good penetrant to make things easier. Watch out for the vacuum lines attached to the back of the seat on both sides if you have power lumbar. It should be pretty straight forward otherwise.
