Next thing was to start working on the frame. I built a dolly to set the body on and had to figure how I was going to get the body off of the frame by myself. I came up with this crank system that I bolted on the front corner or the garage. I then put one of my tie down straps up in the tree around the closest limb and ran the cable through a pulley that I attached to the cable. I then cut a 2 X 6 board just long enough to fit through the cab at the roof and hooked the cable around both sides of the board. Walla, I started cranking and the body started coming up. Amazing!! This is the true meaning of “Shade Tree Mechanic”
