I finally got her rolled out of the garage today to get the cab off. I was able to stand back a bit and check out how she looks with the back end cut off. I dig it. Can't wait to see a little flat bed on it.
I used the U bolt brackets from the rear end of the 72 to secure that contraption I built to attach to the cherry picker. Kind of cool using old stuff.
I did tons of prep and research and it payed off the cab came off with little effort. I had a buddy over for an extra set of eyes and hands but I could have easily did it myself.
