cab weight??

ok so my 72 gmc gets to have its turn in the garage soon and i wanna lift the cab off the frame to perform the rust repairs. what i was thinking of doing was getting some pulleys and a winch and lift the cab off the frame that way. the pulleys would be supported by the ceiling beams in the garage (i have an attic space in the garage) and the winch would be bolted to one of the walls. i was thinking of using 4 pulleys to distribute the weight evenly so i can get the cab up off the frame far enough the get something like saw horses under the cab to support it. so how heavy is an a/c auto cab with the tank and bench still in the cab?
