Removing the cab takes about three hours. It's actually fairly easy, especially if you have a tractor or something to lift the cab off of the frame.  Previously, I mentioned a few things about what you need to remove a cab, like a sawz-all. First of all, only use the sawz-all on rusty bolts or something that will go into the trash or straight to the gun range. 

Now that's out of the way, the next important thing to removing the cab is to remove the hood and doors. The doors are very simple to remove. You can either remove the hinges from the cab or remove the door from the hinges. Regardless, once you take the doors off, get rid of those stupid star-bit bolts (they're useless). Replace them with a standard 6 point bolt. After removing the doors, the next task was to remove the front clip from the Jeep truck. J-series trucks are great in that once you unbolt the clip, you can take the whole thing out. This does require you to first drain and remove the radiator. 

As far as tools go for this job, make sure you have a ratchet with sockets ranging from 7/16" to 5/8". Have the same size wrenches waiting also. Most of these Jeeps can be dismantled with these size sockets or wrenches. After taking the doors and hood off, it's time for the front clip. The clip includes the fenders, fender wells, radiator support, header panel and grill. Start by draining and removing the radiator.  If the radiator hoses are still good, be very careful when you are taking them off. Otherwise, cut the hoses longways and replace them while you are here. Also, be sure to remove the battery, as it is supported by the fender well. Then, start finding the bolts for the clip inside the cab, on the firewall and inside the wheel well. Then have someone help you take front clip off and set it aside.

If you thought you had a lot of room before with the Jeep truck, you're going to see that was nothing compared to the front clip removed. The next step is to disconnect anything and everything that is touching the cab. You can leave little stuff like the windshield wiper motor and wiring within the cab. Otherwise, you need to take out the steering column, disconnect e-brake, gauges, and anything that is connecting the cab to the rest of the truck. Also, it's necessary to take out the seat so that you can get to the cab bolts hiding underneath the seat. After the cab is gutted, it's time to remove it.

Jake helped with the removal by using his John Deere tractor. We used ratchet straps to hold the cab, and lift it up off of the frame. We then gently set the cab down onto the back of a Kabota. Those things are pretty hardy I must say. Jake and Jackie definitely got their money's worth out of it.

Good Bye rusty floors. Here is the current picture of my truck....

Next I will paint the frame with undercoating spray and then put the puzzle back together. Here is the new cab by the way. I'm also purchasing a matching front clip to make it nice and pretty.
