Rear Cab support/mount replacement
Was wondering if anybody had any tips/ tricks for remove the rear cab mounts, the center of my rear support is really solid so I'll only be replacing the supports on the sides, however I Just finished removing my front supports and that was a royal PITA ! I do have to replace the cab corners as well, and am doing the outer floor extensions. Pics from people who have done it would be awesome ! I've posted some pics of my progress up front. Just waiting on my weld through primer to put the panels back in !

Re: Rear Cab support/mount replacement
there is no magic trick ,just take your time don't rush it ,But I will say I would have braced the cab before even moving it off the frame .

Re: Rear Cab support/mount replacement
It's a donor cab from Tennessee, I still have my junk cab on my frame in a different garage. I've read people have braced it and people who haven't, seems it's a good precaution but many don't and are fine

Re: Rear Cab support/mount replacement
People move cabs off of the frames without bracing them all the time. Cab supports are a PITA no matter how you do them.
Glad mine are still in great shape so I only have to do inner and outer rockers and part of the floor and the kick panels. Gary

Re: Rear Cab support/mount replacement
I've got my driver side cut down about as far as yours with no braces. I just left the doors on so I could monitor the gaps and I've had minimal movement. Mine is still sitting on the frame however but with the front bolts removed. I already did the passenger side the same way and everything is fine. It's got the outer rockers back on and everything.
