Pulling the cab off the 71, is it difficult?

I already know I'm pulling off the cowls, fenders, bed, bumpers, grill, windows, bench and gas tank. The truck needs new cab mounts and a steering box, so it seems no better time to replace them than with these items off the truck.

I'm going to refinish all exposed areas, so I was thinking, considering everything else to be done anyway, how difficult is it to pull the cab off so I can refinish underneath?

Also, with those items off, less the gas tank, cab and steering box of course, shouldn't I be able to drive that thing onto a trailer and such?

This is all new to me, and I won't be alone taking most of this stuff off. I'm in the planning phase and want to have my ducks in order.

Thank you for any tips/advise.
