Looking for a way to take the body off a 1968 bronco sport leaving the doors and top on no fenders or grill on?

Leaving the top on is going to make it very rear heavy. I also wouldn’t try and remove it without the doors or something in their place to reinforce the opening to keep the tub from warping.

Thank you appreciate the info

I haven't done it that way but leaving the top on can/could/possibly help the body from folding some (foldling windshield isn't much resistance) but I would pull the doors and brace them as if it didn't have a top when picking.

What will be your preferred method of removing it? A friend on each corner? Engine hoist, lifting up the whole assembly? Jacking it up somehow and rolling the chassis out?
Probably just as many ideas about doing that part as anything else.

A 2-post lift, or a gantry through the front doors lifting by the body mount bolts.

2 post lift is what I would use

Then you’re all set!
Just keep the doors latched and the top attached and the Bronco should be good.
Support it closer to the middle than to the outer ends, and that’s even safer I would think.
Well, not the “middle“ exactly. You know, just to the body mounts further in.
