Putting the cab on its back. Would this work?

Morning all,

A thinking out loud post that I would appreciate a little feedback on to make sure I am not completely mad.

I need to flip Woodys cab onto the back so I can gain access to the floors to ensure he has a rust feee bottom and then clean and protect.

I am lacking in man power so getting 6 or so willing bodies over to do it manually will probably not happen.

So. I have an engine crane….

If I was to lift the rear of the cab up and use blocks to create a pivot point that wasn’t the cab corners and then attach my engine crane to the lower most fender mounting points and lift… would that work without damaging anything?

I have 2 bodies to help stabilise and support along with a load of old tyres to place as shock absorbers.

Understand that as I lift everything will want to move back to will be doing outside the garage.

Any thoughts?

P.
