Wouldn't a really good write up on the procedure be great in the tech folder. There's info on everything else. Why not a cab removal write up??

That would be a pretty lenghty write up. It's also not something most diy'ers are gonna want to tackle.

I'm no tech, but I would recommend that you take a lot of pics of how all the wiring and lines are routed before you take the cab off. It only takes one mis-route to cause a whole lot of un-necessary work and expense.
For example:
Anyone want to take a stab at what's wrong with the P-brake cable!!!
Which in turn caused rubbing here:
And here:
Which means the truck will have to have a new P-brake cable installed because of fraying.
