Re: Project Family Chummins

I spent a few hours the last week working on the wiring. I separated the engine wiring harness from the cab and fuse block wiring. In all it took me about 4 hrs to separate and label everything.

Then I built the dolly for the cab.



Then I got to lifting the cab off the frame. I figured the center of gravity would be towards the front, so I put the cherry picker through the front door. I used a couple of rachet straps from the door hinges to lift from.





And then set it down on the dolly. The dolly worked out OK, except the tires don't hold air real well, and then don't rotate real easily, but they'll work for now.

Then I took the bed off. I had to remove the gooseneck plate first and then lifted it off. The height of my ceiling was really giving me fits getting it off. I had to take the tires off and drop the frame to get the bed up and over the frame.
