    Easy, shorten the boom and lengthen the legs. It probably helps that my crane is for large engines and probably weighs at least 500lbs by itself.

    Bob,
    If I had taken one either time I would already have posted it...not really in the mood to do that right now but when I get there I can...

    I ran 2 straps....one from rocker to rocker toward the rear of the rockers and the other I ran, starting from the passenger compartment side of the firewall, through the master cylinder hole on the drivers side, then back through the heater hole on the passenger side...then pulled the ends up and had the shop crane come in from the side, through the door opening with the straps on the hook in the center of the front of the battery box to rear of shifter area.

    Worked real well...once it is off the ground, it is real easy to adjust for balance.

    I don't understand what the big deal is. Take th cab off with what you have on hand. My method happened to include a p.o.s. engine hoist, a brace welded from the center of the dash to the rear/center of the cab with provisions for the hoist/hook. With the boom fully extended, I moved it around with no effort at all. I also picked it up one half at a time by myself to get it in the back of my van.

    Now hike your skirts up girls and get it done!

    hahhah this thread is a classic example of... .. ahhhh never mind, that other thread is over.

    I'll take some pictures. My hoist is somewhat short compared to others, I feel that it is a little unstable compared to the nice, wider and taller ones. So we'll see. Eyeballing it looks like I can keep it really, really low to the floor and get it done without too much drama.

    Yeah! I really should have put "Why I removed my cab" in the subject line, and that was because my power steering box was ready to fall off! Taking the cab off took two minutes, no big deal, fixing what was underneath took two weeks (off and on). Anyway, It's all good!

    Admit it dude, your cab folded up on you. There is no possible way you did what you did how you said you did it. Impossible.
