Someone suggested lifting the cab by the roof. Anyone done this? Indicated from side to side.

I replaced both on my 57 and didn't lift the cab.

Mine is a '58, Fleetside. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 443 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 443 | I just left the cab on the frame & did one side at a time.

Doing one side at a time lets you make measurements and produce a final product that looks like the factory job. Good luck http://good-times.webshots.com/album/562684536aCrlEt?start=0 | | |
