BINGO, you guys were right. I tried to remove it from the frame as stated above, to pull it from inside the cab. I have no idea what's going on there, and I'll save it for when the body is off. It's not as simple as one nut (of course not), and I managed to mutilate the "grommet" that holds it in place in the process. I should have payed more attention to what you guys were saying. Removing the cable retainer on the frame near the top front shock seemed to help, gave me some play. Thanks for everyone's help.
