Some time ago at a swap meet there was a fella selling a contraption to go on the end of your shop crane to lift the cab off a truck, I got a good look at it and how it worked with plans on building one someday.
So sunday morning I got to the point of pulling the cab on my 53 and decided I needed one. The metal store isn't open on sunday and after looking through the scrap pile I decided I could build it out of some CCA 4X4's I had and some deck brakets.
Here is the result.
Mind you I wouldn't recommend it for repeated use, and I do plan on building a proper one out of metal but I was amazed at how well it worked for the 5 minutes or so I had invested.
