Does anybody know if you can remove the cab and front clip together as one big piece or if you have to separate the clip from the cab?

Thanks

This is what 30 minutes with the pressure washer can do for you. 20+ years worth of crud gone.

It was finally delivered. Here is the close up of the tag.

I'm still curious if that A/C unit was a factory option or a special order. When you get a chance, can you post the code to the left of A/C on the equipment ID sticker?
