It was a 12 step program. Hi, my name is Buddy and I'm a truckaholic.
Jack up body and frame together
A little in the front, then a little in the back
Remove bolts holding them together
Jack the body and frame as low as possible and still be able to get the jack out.
A little in the front a little in the back
repeat
A little in the front a little in the back
This way you don't get the nose too much lower than the tail.
Now with a 2' long 2x4 under the firewall, jack up the body only until you can get a beam over the frame and under the body
Now move to the tailend and do the same there
Repeat, a little in the front a little in the back to get the body off of the frame
Now you drop the frame to the floor and drag it out.
The jack stands have to be wide enough apart in the front to clear the running board supports.
Jack up the body by the firewall again and move your supports in.
This is the Buddy way, inside with 8' clearance to the garage door opener, with 1 floor jack and 3 sets of jack stands.
Whew, I need a drink! :rolleyes:
