Cab swap

[trkfrmr]

I am going to move a cab to another frame and need some advice.I was thinking that a 4x4 post fitted with eyebolts on each end could be used to lift the cab(using a front loader on a tractor).The doors could be left on as well.I have rust in the cab roof and don't really know how feasible it is to lift a cab this way without damage,but looking for another way besides manpower,but again,I don't want to damage or egg-shape my cab or door hinges.Any suggestions?
Thanks.

i lifted mine with a 4x4 and a come-along attached at each end. i had the doors off and it doesnt hurt a thing. i would be scared with the doors on. might be ok though.

I have lifted a couple cabs with an engine hoist, but working outside it's hard to get the frame away from it.
I copied my buddies old camper jacks (bout $100 worth of harbor freight stuff and some pipe) and they are much better to lift a cab or bed for me.
I would pull the doors though.

if the cab is junk just push it off right?
