Re: frame off suggestions/pics?

On the rear of the Burb, we used the two 3/8-16 weld nuts to fasten the lifting brackets to the body as seen in the attached picture. (The weld nuts are in the door opening frame and I believe they were used for the Burbs with tailgates). For most of the body work, (floors, braces, tubs, etc.) we left the body hanging on the hoists with additional support underneath for safety. On the rear we used a sturdy table with jack stands to get the right height. On the front we used a 4' high support stand that we made out of welded up angle iron.

After the major work was done, we set the Burb on a low cart that we made out of steel beams with 8" wheels.
