Handy Dandy Cab Lifter

Well it's time to start work on the 72 GMC 4x4 I bought from jamie72 many years ago. So the first thing was to build a crane.

Proved to be pretty handy to move an old cab outta the bed, it'll be getting a lot of use moving things around this summer.

Re: Handy Dandy Cab Lifter

Good idea! Any idea what the empty cab weighs?

I may have to figure some way to use my boom pole to lift mine. However I don't have a front bucket.

Not sure, less than a bucket of gravel. I'm guessing under 400lbs.
