how hard?

how hard is it to do a cab swap on a 91 ford ranger super cab with a manual tranny? i was thinking itd just be pulling the steering wheel, maybe column, a few bolts, and then get abunch of guys to lift it off there, or something.

no need to remove the steering wheel or column, there's a bolt coupler thing under the hood where it comes apart.

find the cab mount bolts and remove them, disconnect the engine wiring (there should be connectors connecting the engine to the body), disconnect the brake lines (or remove the master cylinder), disconnect the chassis wiring from the cab wiring (2 or 3 connectors under the hood, drivers inner fender), I don't know if the extended cab rangers have the cables under the cab going around a crossmember, it's held on with the seatbelt bolts.

3 people aren't enough for a regular cab, with a super cab I'd want at least 4 people if not 5 or 6.

No, the supercabs don't have that seatbelt reinforcement cable, that's a std cab only thing...

it's not hard, I did mine in a day pretty much. one of the things that makes things easier is to get a 4x4 the width of the cab plus a couple feet and put it under the front and rear of the cab to work as handles
