Thanks

I don't have any pictures, but I use 4 smaller ratchet straps. I take the doors off and put it in either side to lift. I put the straps to the bottom door hinges and the furthest outside seatbelt holes. Don't use just 2 straps (like 1 each side) it will slide around, 1 for each lift. I have a few lengths of 2,4, and 6" oilfield pipe that I lay along the back wall for weight if I am firewall heavy and tippy.

The same as kenadams as well. I even pulled with the doors on my '67.
