I'm looking for any kind of web based resource that will help to remove the cab off of a 1995 Chevy Silverado Extended Cab 4x4. The body is ate up with rust and replacing the cab, bed and fenders is cheaper then having the body work done. I just can't find any kind of resource that will help me to figure out what needs to be done to remove it. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Actually, the cab is basically just bolted to the frame (I think 6 bolts). Other than that, you need to disconnect every thing frim the firewall under the hood. You also need to remove any body ground straps under the vheicle. Once everything is unbolted, unplugged... it needs lifted off.
