I have the body all ready to be lifted off. I was going to attempt it myself, but thought I'd wait until a buddy could come give me a hand. I have another question though. I got my engine lift out and was checkicing the height on it. It will be close as to whether or not it will go high enough lifting on the roll bar so I started looking at other options.
I'm thinking of adding a couple more cross braces and running a strap across the door braces. In the picture, the red is where I would add a couple braces across the width of the body. The yellow would be where I would connect a strap or chain and lift from there and use some adjustable straps to help balance it. Do you guys see any issues with this approach? I can't see the weight of the tub bending the square tube, especially since the doors, seats, tail gate, fenders and hood will all be off.
Here's the body cart I made to put the body on
