IF you have a engine hoist:

take a 2 by 10 board that is long enough to protrude out both sides of the cab, then take some 2 by 4's and screw them almost perpendicular to the 2 by 10 tight up against the inside of the door frame at the top (the cab angles inward towards the front, so they wont be square to the 2 x 10), then you can get the engine hoist in and center it on the cab from the side through the window and jack it up. It may take a few try's to find the center of gravity. TWO people is best to do it.
