Hi Guys
Sorry I could not resist.
But it actually worked to move the cab and engine into the shop to remove the engine, a 261 that is now in my C60S. Chained the truck chassis to the towing eyes on the bumper of the HUP and drove it into the shop.
Yes, you can remove the cab complete with steering column, but be very sure to slide assembly up into the cab and secure it very well so that you have no risk of bending the shaft. The risk is bending or breaking at the instrument panel bracket. Obviously you also want to be very careful that the wheel or arm are not turned quickly so as to hit the end of travel. As I remember there are no stops so all the strain goes to the recycling balls in the steering box which can be damage easily.
Cheers Phil
