Question Taking the Cab Off

I want to take the cab off with fenders, hood etc. still attached. I searched and found photos with it done on a lift but no one really describes what has to be disconnected. Yes, I know there are 6 attachments to the frame but what about other things such as the steering linkage, hydraulic lines etc.? Don't ask why I am want to do it since it wouldn't make sense to most of you and I would have to destroy your computer if I told you. Thanks in advance for information.

I hadn't thought about the go kart idea but that would throw a scare into the group of karts. Just think of our monster tall motor sitting amongst karts that are only 2 inches off the ground. Actually, I want to get down to the frame so I can clean that grease stuff that Ford dips are frame in so every time I work under the Lightning I don't come out looking like a tar baby. A lot work for little return but I hate the stuff. (Yes, I know that some of you might be thinking that I have too much time on my hands to worry about this!)
