One issue that I had come up when I removed the cab was that I broke off the two rear cab mount bolts.

So yesterday I set out to fix it. The cab mounts are 2 small disks that sandwich the cab sheetmetal between. So, first I had to drill out the 4 spot welds that secure the cab mount reinforcement plates. The air chisel made quick work of removing the plates. Then I had had to cut off and then drill out the old bolts. Then I welded a new nut on top of the old "captured nut". Finally I put the two pieces in the cab and used a bolt to hold everything tightly in place and welded it back in. Sounds fairly easy, but it took several hours.

After getting the engine and tranny in with the cab on, the clearance between the firewall and bellhousing was too close for my comfort. So I cut out 12 1/4" circles, drilled holes in them to use as a 1/2" body lift Hopefully that will give me enough clearance to allow for engine movement.
