Correct. Once you make the decision to remove the cab, it first needs to be gutted out. I'm not a full-time mechanic, but it took me no more than half a Saturday to gut my cab. Most of that time was spent wrestling with the steering column/steering box to separate the two. I simply cut the wiring at the firewall since I was upgrading the electricals with new modern wiring.
