Re: best way to lift the cab off of frame safely

If you have access to an overhead hoist a spreader bar works well . I also use a front end loader with hooks welded to the outside of the bucket . The bucket is wider that the cab . I then used a lifting strap thru the inside of the cab By doing that you do not risk damaging the rain gutter . GM Factory used spread bars with swing hooks on the end . Several people have example of using a common engine hoist with and attachment to run thru the cab . About 40 years ago without any thing but an Oak tree and a hand come along I pulled a lot of cabs. Hah . Really not recommended .
