[chad64chevy]

i was needing to lift my cab up off the frame and saw a few people using cherry picker and wood or metal to lift there cabs off! does anybody have pictures or can walk me through this! the last time i did lift the cab off the frame i used jack stand and a jack! needless to say the cab came down without my help!! i'm waiting to get the cab off this weekend, and any input would be great, thanks ahead off time!!

If you look at my build thread, you'll see what I made for my cherry picker.

I made my own cab lift from information on this site. Thanks to who ever posted this information. Hope this helps. As you can see the lift really lifts high. I made mine adjustable and can flip the ends to lift the bed also.

This is where I made mine from. This guy is the bomb.

ahhhh the ease of it all..

[chad64chevy]

i'm think of doing a wooden hoist like daverod did! it's easy and i don't need to take the cab completely off the frame just lift it up to drill four holes in the frame to mount some shock relocators! heres the pictures!!

This is how I did mine. I hung a couple wheels/tires on the back of the picker for counter weights.

ya! i didn't have to do a lot i have a 2 ton cherry picker and just adjusted the legs and the arm out , made that cab lift from wood like daverod did, and added some small blocks for the outside of the lip so it wont slide and had a friend stand on the other side! it worked great and i put some 4 x 4 under the cab just incase, but it didn't go anywhere! i made mine long enough to lift the bed too! i'll try that this weekend just to see if it will work!!

[daverod]

Two pick up the bed I just hooked a come a long between the two center pockets then used the hoist on the cable worked good. My bed did'nt have any wood.

I put a hole in the center for an eyelet and lifted up the bed. I then rolled the truck under it.



After it was mounted up, I welded up the hole and then sprayed in Raptor bed liner.

I know this is the wrong year truck, but the principle is still the same.
This is how I lifted my 53....

I need to get my cab back off again. No fork lift this time. I will be rigging up my cherry picker for this task.
