Lifting Body Off of Frame

I hadn't planned on pulling the body off to do the restoration on my sub, but I'm gonna have the front clip off this weekend, and the engine pulled, and the axles are already out, with the burb sitting on jack stands.

So I figure, what the heck... The body mounts are pretty worn out anyway.

But here's my question... does anyone here know the approximate center of mass on the body? E.g. where should I center the hoist? I was thinking of lifting from inside the truck, with the hoist inside the third door. Would that put me hear the center?

Any help is much appreciated!
