Anyone have pictures of a cab rotisserie for 72?

I am about to bite the bullet and attempt to build my own rotisserie for my 72 cab. I know it is prob a big PITA but it is too easy to do a crappy job on paint and body without it. I was wondering if it is ok to use the door and latch points as attachment locations or does it need to be to the cab mount holes in the floor? Anyone ever built one before on here? I have a big crane that I can test fit the cab to rotisserie until I get it balanced about right. Just don't really know where to start right off. If no one has any input I will just dive off the deep end and start experimenting. Will post up details when I have it all done (maybe even plans if it really goes well).

One of my favorite saved "cab rotisserie" threads is HERE.
Most are designed using an engine stand-style design for support
and rotation and do, indeed, mount in the door openings.

Great thread link! I appreciate it. I think I am going to attempt to make one that has two sets of attachment points. One that goes into the door openings and then another thats attaches to the floor bolts.
