We accomplished a lot yesterday on Chad's truck. A little bit sore this morning, but progress is a good thing,

We watched a video online with instructions on how to build a cab lift that works with an engine hoist. The cab lift worked perfect and I want to thank Paul at Paulk.com for providing spot-on dimensions. Our version is shown below.

After disconnecting everything from the cab, we separated the cab from the frame to get it ready for Vapor Blasting. The fenders, hood, bed panels will be blasted and sprayed with a good coat of Epoxy Primer.

The cab dolly was welded together from scrap metal tubing. We bolted the cab to the dolly using the original rubber cab mounts and bolts. It is super easy to roll around the shop with one person.

To open up some room at Chad's I will be bring the chassis to my house for complete prep and detailing. Stay tuned...
