The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk Cab Removal: I wouldn't try this at home (again)

Maybe it's the pic,but it doesn't appear to me that your crane lift arm is extended it's full reach,usually to the 1000# length.
That would have put your lift further away from your truck.It wouldn't have prevented it from swinging toward the lift, but it
would give you more room to control the cab.
