- Today I'm removing the cab from this 1980 Toyota Long Bed Pickup Truck. The cab will eventually go onto a nice frame that I restored in a previous video. First I'm going to stand the cab up on its rear wall so that I can have access to clean the underside in the next video.

Looks like Mikey built a nice shop crane, nice of him to loan it to you. I was worried you might crack or burst the windshield if any twisting or torquing went on, but seems it worked out for you. Loving this series so much, thanks man.
He built it very well, but hasn't needed it much since he installed a lift. We swapped the shop crane for my cherry picker, as he needed that for one of his projects. When reinstalling the cab, I put the straps all the way around the cab, under the rocker panels and there was no more damage to the cab. I was paranoid about the windshield as well!!
You're doing amazing work. Too bad I wasnt your neighbor, I'd help u. Good thing u dont have a HOA. My heart is in those SR5's. Cant wait until next video. 👍
Thank you! I did get some help when reinstalling the cab... it was much easier! And 100% glad there's no HOA here. They would have ran me out a long time ago lol... That rusty frame has been sitting in my driveway since this video!
It's progress! Lot of work saving one that rusty.
Yeah, longer than I expected, but it's getting close to road worthy.
Great solo work. A 2x6 with old axle or any u bolt on each end helps save the gutter rails.
Great idea! When reinstalling the cab, I put the straps all the way around the cab, under the rocker panels and there was no more damage to the cab.
I just remembered... I tried lifting a cab with a 2x4 once... and it did not work lol czcams.com/video/-mI8ecus2cY/video.html
The dedication to this truck is amazing. The level of detail you go, is above and beyond and it makes these videos a joy to watch. It is just a shame they arn't rapid fire!
With the cab like that now would be a good time to clean under it and paint it
Good call, that's actually going to be the next video! :)
Sucks about the rain gutters,,,cat was pretty funny in fast forward
He was super interested in the cab all of a sudden.... probably hoping a mouse would run out of it!
Keep busy bro !!! lookin great
Thank you... wouldn't have been possible without your parts truck!!
Putting another strap from the core support to the hook would help alot at keeping things level. Just a thought
I thought about that, but it's still using one mounting point and heavier in the front, so it would still lean forward. I would need another mounting point further out/forward on the hoist to hang the front hook onto.
When I lifted it onto the new frame, I put the straps all the way around the cab, under the rocker panels, and it was much better balanced and there was no more damage to the drip rails. Lesson learned!
Oh man. Hope those door openings bends are not that seriuos. Wish you the best luck and hope you'll be able to successfully repair it.
Thanks, I don't think it will be too bad. I put the straps all the way around the cab, under the rocker panels after that happened and there was no more damage to the cab. Lesson learned!
Been waiting for this
It went better than expected for doing it by myself... but I'm definitely getting an extra hand to put the cab onto the new frame.
🔥🔥🔥
You dont.need the.hoist to stand it on its.back i just lifted mine by hand
You're right, it was a lot lighter than I thought!
Hey man i need help, my truck is leaking coolant and it ends up on the floor pans and idk why. I recently also did a valve adjustement.
That 100% sounds like a leaking heater core to me. You have to remove the entire dash and almost everything behind it to replace the heater core.
@@6thGearGarage Is it the heater core itself or the hoses connecting it? Other than that the truck is coming great I got some interior parts to restore the interior then I’m gonna get a real bed instead of a flatbed. Can’t wait to see your truck done
@@6thGearGarage Should i flush the coolant after the heater core is changed
@@Random_Car_Guy It is usually the heater core itself. The hoses connect on the engine bay side of the firewall, so if the hoses leak, it won't leak coolant into the cab. You'll need to remove the big plastic box behind the center of the dash and the heater core lives inside that box. This video will show most of what needs to be removed czcams.com/video/yKG_F30MdQE/video.html
To anyone out there reading comments ! What do you think of picking up a 84-88 cab by itself in a same year gen on a (86) bed ? Fit or sktetch ?
putting the cab into the bed? It's not going to fit well... bring some straps! Here's a video of a 86 cab in a squarebody bed.. and you can see it mostly fits. czcams.com/video/-mI8ecus2cY/video.html but a toyota bed is a bit smaller than that.
@@6thGearGarage thank you !
Where did you buy the floor pans from?? Info please. I need some.
They came from a parts truck - or at least most of his patch panels did.
What year is your truck?

@@6thGearGarage thanks man
Let me think... if you put like a long 2x6 or 2x8 thru the doors and lift on both ends to avoid crushing? For the next time! But nice job indeed!
That probably would have worked. When reinstalling the cab, I put the straps all the way around the cab, under the rocker panels and there was no more damage to the drip rails.
