at this point the cab and steering box are one piece so if you wanna do that get the steering wheel and shift lever and linkage off, then the pitman arm off, then unbolt the box from the frame and the boot around the colummn at the floor and pull it out from the firewall side. personally I highly recommend a frame check before doing much more. you don't wanna spend time and money on something and find out it is not really quite right. taking the cab off will also allow you to really see how the cab is structurally.
