This is a very good question and I would like to know the same answers.
My
fiancee's parents have a garage with a low ceiling and I am unable to move
the frame in the garage with the cab on it since removing the engine. We
have discussed having four friends come out to the house to help but that
is a task by itself. Should I remove the doors and front windshield prior
to help eliminate some weight? The windshield will be replaced and one door
also. If I should remove the doors prior, what is the best way of attacking
the hinges? I am new at this whole restoring thing and there may be more
stupid questions to follow. Thanks for the suggestions in advance.
