Re: Chevy Cab
I braced mine and put a chain hoist in my barn and lift complete cabs with it all the time. My barn is 64 foot wide but the center rafters are 32 foot on 8 foot center. I think mine has 2X6 rafters and then I took and put another 2X6 on both sides of the rafter for a 10 or 12 foot section. At the ends of the extra bracing we put two 4X8 or 6X8 and ran from the rafters to the floor to help support just that area of the rafter. Probably over kill but still a lot cheaper than repairing the barn after it is damaged. I have lifted engines, complete cabs, beds, ect.
