Been a while but I'm finally back to working on my M1028 that got rolled while in transport on a trailer, crushing the cab. I picked up an '86 Silverado parts truck some time ago, good straight 1/2 ton 2WD with no drivetrain, as a donor. So, having never performed a cab swap before I'd appreciate ANY suggestions, tips or insight for doing the swap. I'm using a 10-ton crawler crane for lift (I have big toys!) and a spreader for the straps to lift from underneath so I don't stress or deform the new cab. I'm thinking this will be a good swap as I'll be rid of all the 24V stuff and also pick up factory A/C. I'm relocating batteries (Optimas) under the bed too for cleaner underhood and more room for A/C plenum. Thinking about going with urethane cab bushings, thoughts on that?
Thanks for any responses! And I did use search on this but didn't find much specific to my need.
