Re: Lifting shortbox truck bed and cab with cherry picker engine hoist
I'd make the parts in red from the pics in posts, 4 and 6 from 2x4s sandwiched together. Why 2x4s? Cheaper than 4x4s and the knots are less likely to line up.
I use "outdoor wood star drive" torx (Lowes/HD) screws that have a sort of self tapping feature and carriage bolts for big stuff. When the jig is no longer needed, run the screws out and save. Reuse the wood.
