This is the 1985 Chevy K30 truck we cannibalized my 1 ton axles from. Sometimes things don't come apart as easily as you think they are going to. There was only 1 cab mount still holding on this beast and we ended up flipping the whole truck over trying to pull the cab off. Why yank the cab you ask? Well we didn't want to torch the cab mount because it was literally right on top of the gas tank. The reason for pulling the truck apart here was because the tow dolly we had was so small that the weight of the full size truck was killing it. We had 60+ PSI in the tires and they were still buckling under the weight, not to mention they were getting very hot! After all the work of tearing the truck apart we managed to get it home in one piece so we could begin the swap into my Jeep!
