easy one man lift
Here's how I pulled my cab and bed today. A 2x4 wasn't enough for the bed.

Re: easy one man lift
Thanks for the tip.
It will be a while before I pull my cab off. I am going to have my friend, a welder, make me a rack with wheels to put it on after it is off.

Re: easy one man lift
What are those mounting points? Are those for the seat bolts and is there some strength on the underside so the bolts don't pull through the floor?

Re: easy one man lift
The rear bolts go to the seat belt mounts.
