It’s a cabover. Probably won’t take the hood off…..

Cab on that Shaker will tilt 90 degrees. Be careful going over and use the hydraulics to control it. A chain and come a long from the back of the cab to a cross member is a good safety. Heard of one getting away once. They said when the cab cylinders hit the end the hinges broke off and the cab landed on the floor. Then we would use a trailer floor I beam clamped to cherry picker or forklift fork if that was all we had.Badmon Thanks this. -

I'm curious. Are there any resources for Trucks like there are for passenger vehicles? I'm not talking the Auto Zone crappy books but rather something similar to Chilton's repair, labor time subscription service for most passenger vehicles.
Man, i changed a serpentine belt once on a ###### 3.5 GM v6 and would have spent a whole weekend instead of most of a Saturday without that subscription service suggested to me by a retired GM dealer mechanic who couldn't access Manufacturer/Dealer schematics and labor estimates any longer.
