I plan on doing a full frame off restore on my 85,( if I could ever get the bed bolts off) and plan on showing what all is involved in pulling the body off. Seems like you are fairly familiar with it as you have the spare cab sitting there. I will keep an eye out for a frame.

Just reminded me there is this guy http://fayar.craigslist.org/pts/3779836990.html

Hey thanks terry I just texted the link you posted. Yeah removing the cab is pretty straight forward I just cut the bolts with an angle grinder. Then lifted the cab with my dads little kubota. Make sure everything is unbolted first like the steering box, brake lines and hoses.

After putting on the 35s I decided to move the front axle forward 1inch so I made these.
