Cherry picker with ropes tied in an "X" formation on the corners of the bed. Extend the boom and legs of the cherry picker out as far as they'll go, have the tailgate off the bed, and hook both ropes to it in the middle of the X. That's how I did my '87 LWB bed swap.

There is a lift bracket made to be used with a cherry picker though they are rather pricey, good news is the straps work just as well or one of these lift brackets could be made fairly cheap.
