Thanks Milo,
I need to remove the cab on my WC-12 to get some body work and a repaint done on it. I am going to run a 4x4 through both door openings, screw in or strap in 1 4x4 on each end with some pads on the bottom of them and use dollies on each side to move the cab forward and off the frame. I will remove the wheels and lower the frame down as far as I can. I only have my brother to help me out and our driveway space is limited. Should be quite an adventure. It will also be fun removing the axles from the frame since I'm replacing the rusted out T-211 frame with a good T-215 one which has been blasted and powder coated. I'm guessing a 1/2 ton frame must weight in the neighborhood of 500 LBS? Thanks for the Info.
