Put the cab back on yesterday.

We used the engine hoist method.
I used I-bolts in the frt cab mounts and made brackets that bolted to the rear seat bolt holes. Then hooked the tie downs to them and up to the hoist.
The hoist's arm wasn't long enough using the existing adjustment holes , so I had to drill another hole in the arm so it would reach into the middle of the cab. I was a little concerned about the weight and the arm stretched out that far, but it worked well.

Putting big parts back together is always a rewarding milestone.

Nice job rigging that clean cab back on to the frame! I will have to keep that in mind!

I put mine back on today. It must be that time if the year. I used a MaxJax lift.

Cab on the lift and ready to lower on to the frame.
