Re: Craigslist..well Nex-tech find.

The few I have done (besides Suburbans having a shop crane), I used a strap under the back of the cab held up by a chain hoist (A frame would be best, but a strudy tree would work, too), and run a chain across the fender mounting holes on the cowl, and use the cherry picker there. It's been a long time, but that what my semi- fuzzy memory recalls. I used to work at a Peterbilt/GMC dealership, and we had 2 overhead cranes that we used to remove sleepers. That makes short work of a body swap.
