My best helper helped me put the cab back on yesterday. Two of the best things I have is a great helper and that gantry crane. Now I know the cab sets back far enough that I can get the distributor out and there is lots of room up front of the small block and fan for the radiator and transmission cooler. The room behind the distributor was the important part as I don't want to have to pull the motor to get it out.
Have to bolt the cab down so I can start working on the new floor pan. The rear of the cab hooks to the frame with a rubber bushed bar on each side and the one on the drivers side wanted to stay put. Was rusted in. I finally had to grind the bolt off both sides so I could get it out and sandblast the rust off. Their in pretty bad shape with most of the rubber bushing gone, so i'm going to order a couple of new ones today from LMC TRUCK along with a new cab mounting kit.
Also have to figure out how to get the rust off the bottom of the cab floor. May have to roll it 90 degrees so I can clean it easier, but thats a way off yet.
