The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area The Tool Chest engine hoist cab hoist

I didn't catch that article on how to build a cab hoist, when I did my research.

thought I would add to your post, good ideas should be shared.

so, here is another way to skin that cat:

lifted
frame off
used the hoist for the engine:

If your changing Frames like we did.
the handy tool that we found to make our build easier: welded a metal4x4 to the jack to get extra height.
Plus:(a drill template)
we made a drill templete
body mount holes from the old frame
body mount holes tranfer to new frame
