Cab removal
Ha, I have access to a 69 F100 with a very good cab and front end. The salvage yard doesnt want to sell the whole truck to me. Do any of you think it would be possible to unbolt the cab and slide it sideways off of the truck?

Yup, with the nose off, FOUR bolts will get the cab in your hands(after you unhook steering rag joint). Take at least 4 buddies with you if they don't offer a crane. Especially if it has interior...it will be pretty heavy.

See if they will let you take it home and bring it back.
Neither the cab or clip is very heavy, the cab is bulky, has no place to hold on to, but probably weighs less than 300 lbs.
I can't believe the yard won't work with you if they want to sell parts.

Look at the firewall, there will be gas petal linkage, brake system, heater hose, AC lines (option), electrical on each finders (connectors), Shifting linkage if column shift, and fuel line as previous said. If you take the front clip, seat, doors off, it light enough for 4 to handle.

The problem is that this truck has a 350 Chevy in it. I would prefer to buy the whole truck but the junkyard owner seems to think that equates to pure gold. So everything has to be pulled there.

Keep looking, it is when we get in a rush that we get into trouble. If you aint broke down there aint nothing that is one of a kind and you can't find another one of.
