Flip my cab

Anyone have a way to flip your cab over on to the back so that I can work on the underside? I can use my cherry picker to lift the cab off the frame and to the floor, but I need a way to do the tipping by myself in my garage with just basic tools. I have not been able to figure a way to do this without busting out the back window and denting up the cab.

Re: Flip my cab

when I was joining mine with the s10 floor I just laid it back, no dents or broken window.

Re: Flip my cab

I have seen an old matress used a few times. Seems to work well. Cheap and easy to find.
