How To Remove The Cab From A Ford Truck

[Frank]

Hi all, I've been lurking on this forum site for 2 months after deciding to replace my 97 f250 4x4 (460). Two teenage boys fighting for leg room in a supercab but mostly replacing a 12' camper with a 34' 5th wheel toyhauler, just could'nt get up the hills with the new load. Found this forum really great, decided against the "sick-o" and got the 7.3. Anyway I want to add a small contribution to all who helped me with my decision, here is a link to add info to a thread re removal of cab from chassis- http://flatratetech.com/images/nav_how_to.htm

DONT follow that link exactly though frank. i have a better way of doing it if your interested. i dont share it with everyone because i dont feel this is a job EVERYONE should try. you need more mechanical ability than the average joe, this is why i share that info on a person by person basis......

Hello, I just ran across this site and found your reply. I am replacing a damaged 00 F-350 4x4 AT Supercab with a 99 F-350 4x4 AT Supercab. I rebuild salvage vehicles from time to time for personal use. This is my first truck. If you would be willing to share your tips on replacing a cab I would love to hear them.

Thanks, Todd

Hello Frank,

I just found out that I have blown HG on my 6.0L. I am very mechanically inclined and I have the aptitude to rework my heads and replace the HG and the ARP studs. My biggest unknown is raising the cab, once I get it raised (approx. how high do you need to raise it?) Once I get to the engine I am home free.

Can you share your procedure on raising the cab of a 2003 crew cab? Someone told me that there is 8 bolts that mount the cab on the frame. I need to know where they are and what elese must be removed and disconnected such as the steering shaft, wiring harnesses, and radiator.
