Re: Lifting Cab, Doors, Front Fenders, Hood and Rad Support off frame in one piece ??

I did it on a couple with a cheap A-frame and a Harbor Freight winch. We used a couple of long straps, one all the way around the cab, toward the rear, held in place by the cab bolts. One more around the front fenders and the last one at the bottom of the core support. The core support piece and rear strap lift most, the one around the fenders is more for stability than anything else. We managed to get 'em high enough to roll frames out from under them without letting the air out of the tires, both were 1-tons with tall front tires!
This let me keep the entire front clip together, where everything has settled to after 150K miles of bouncing around.
