What's the best way to lift a Ranger cab off? I'm doing a complete body swap on my 87 Xtracab and am about to the point where I need to swap the cabs. My 4x2 is not moveable due to no wheels/tires or rear axle/springs. My 4x4 that I'm swapping my good body on to is driveable at the moment...but soon won't be because the wiring harness is almost all the way out.
I removed my crappy bed from the 4x4 with me and my neighbor lifting it...not too bad but we slipped and scratched the paint good. Those bottom edges are sharp even with gloves. So me and three other guys lifted my good bed of the 4x2 as I didn't want it getting scratched up or dented.
My engine and tranny are still in both trucks, going to pull the radiators and that's about it.
Sooo....what's the best way to swap the cabs off? Who's done it and how'd it go?
