Or take the cab and pickup parts and put it on the frame with the engine??

I've seen some engines get swapped out in a few hours.

How about a pr. of channel locks?  | | | | | Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 362 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 362 | I had a fatherinlaw, he's dead and gone now, who taught me the most valuable lesson about mechanicing and working on trucks. He said "If you don't try you won't learn anything and if you do and f--k it up then you'll be much the wiser". Go for it. Look at what you want to take out and do it. Good luck and have fun. I'm sure if you have problems you can't figure out some of us here will help..
