One-Man Cab & Bed Lift

[amunoz]

nice idea, i wish i had on of those, last Saturday i sold a cab, it was 4 of us, and it was still heavy as hell. good thing the buyer didn't care about manhandling the cab, so we just tip it on one side off the frame and slid it down off the frame(ouch!!! you should of been there) i know if I was buying a cab i defently would not want it off the frame like this. but it was his idea, man that thing was heavy so I didn't refuse too much

I just seen this thread and purchased the plans for both the Cab and Bed lift and the tilt dolly. I can't wait to get them. Now I don't have to work around everyone else's schedule!!

Thanks!!

I ordered the plans and made one. Take a look at my build thread to see mine in action.

Nice job on your lift. I guess if I were to paint mine it might not look like a pile of rust

Thanks guys for the kind words. I built this for my self because my back keeped getting worse from over lifting. Now I can lift cabs and beds my self with out any back strain but I think I made it too late because my back poped last Saturday and now I may be looking at surgury to repair a life time of stupid lifting. Don't be like me and hurt your self, be smart and at least get help lifting from friends or a lift of some sort. I am not trying to sell more of these I just don't want anyone going thru what I am right now if it is avoidable! Sorry if my spelling or grammer is worse than normal but I am dopped up right now just to get out of bed and make my

I just ordered the Cab and bed lift from you,,,,,, and the tip and flip from the Bump and Grind Garage.

[teufelhunden]

i just wanted to ask how much for both sets of plans (Tip & Flip truck cab dolly for the 67-72 Chevy and the one man cab and bed lift)? my 1969 Chevy c-10 with an olds 455/th400 (yes that is right olds455/th400) was flooded by hurricane Katrina and i am hoping to be going to get it soon and bring it back to CA to take it apart and redo it. i just have to figure out a way to get it here without it costing me an arm and a leg. your design will make it easy for me to work since i don't live around any gearheads like myself.

Just a quick bump 4 ya! I used this kit and it was awesome. It made the cab work almost easy. Not to mention how nice it was to just the roll the cab around the shop when not in use.

Great job on the design!

soooo......you have the 63-66 tip and flip worked out yet? would it be a big deal to order for the 67-72 and just mod it to fit my '66. i'm gonna need both the cab-bed lift jig and the cab dolly very soon.

you take pay-pal?
edit: nevermind looked at you sig, duh!

[chevy29267truck]

Ordered plans today. How will it come (ups, fed ex, mail)? Looking forward to building it and using it. I do alot of my work early on weekend mornings before everyboby else is conscious. Its hard to get help.

Sorry but the 63-66's have not been worked out yet. I have been too busy with my son, shop jobs and everything else that falls my way to pull our 63 apart to build it. I still plan to get to it just have not had time yet.

what is your opinion on this question?
would it be a big deal to order for the 67-72 and just mod it to fit my '66?

[Larry S]

No problem at all.

I just ordered the cab/bed lift from Lewisfabricationdesign.com. Getting my old cab off was just to scary and dangerous. I do not want to damage my new cab, anybody or anything while putting it on. I am eagarly(sp) awaiting my set of plans. I love new tools.

Any word on a Blazer tub lift???

I have not reworked a 67-72 dolly yet but others have with great results. I do have a 65 cab just a few blocks away that I will be using here in the next month or so to build a year specific set of plans.

I am sure you will like this lifter as I use mine on a weekly basis for all kinds of projects in the shop.

I am glad you and your friends are getting good use of it. Now you did charge your friend the going 12pk rate for usage right?

This one will not be built just because they are too heavy for a single person operation like the cab lift is designed for. But with that being said I don't see why you could not build two (from one set of plans) and use two engine hoists and two friends to do the job.

I just ordered the cab and bed lift plans, but I'm curious as to where people get the steel to build it. Home Depot has angle iron and some other stuff, but likely not big enough square tubing.

Is there a magical Internet site that you can email a cut list and they ship you your steel at a non-abusive price?

Failing that, where do I look in the yellow pages? Should I assume any place that sells steel will cut to a cut list? I'm not even sure where to start!

One good place to get good leads to where to get your metal, is your local welding supply house. I'm not sure what names are out there where your at, but airgas is a big welding supply house here. Most of their guys will know of where to go to get metal. As for getting it cut, most of the places I deal with will cut it for me, but at am extra cost.

All 7 sets from this weekend are shipping out Wednesday.

Up here my local scrap yard also sells new steel by the foot. When I bought the steel for mine, it was around $75.00.
