Blazer Top Hoists any Pics?

So who out there in 69-72 Blazer land has come up with ingenious ways to hoist the tops off these rigs single handedly?

I have some hoist ideas in my noggin, but my concerns are hoisting it high enough and safely enough so that I can drive out and walk around under it........bolting 2x4's w/ cables attached to a pulley or boat trailer crank is what i'm thinking of......anybody got pics of anything like this?

Also warping could be an issue.....

I'd almost like to drill a couple holes thru the roof and use a steel bar bolted thru, like the block crank bar at the end of a motor puller. When the top was on you could plug the holes or use short bolts............this way you wouldnt need to mess with the 2x4 between the bed rails and the top...........
