I have all the body bolts off. The back two broke but the rest came right out. I think that the body would lift right off. The only way I have is to lift the body up and off is with an engine hoist. The last time we did this it came off pretty easy.
My question is this. If I am able to lift it off with the doors on, can I do it without welding supports across the tub? Will it stay in shape or should I go ahead and weld some 1" x 1" tubing side to side and back to front? Just across the door openings?
Any thoughts or experience doing this? I would greatly appreciate any info as I am already dinged up and trying to do more than I probably should (physically). %)
