Getting Cab on Truck Frame Help

[davbell22602]

Anybody got any ideas on how to get my 67 F100 cab on the frame when ready this year? I have no near by trees to hook a chain hoist to or extra manpower help. I thought about renting a aframe with chain hoist but couldnt find one on the sunbelt rental site.

If you have access to steel and a welder or are a decent carpenter, I'd just build an A frame and buy a chain hoist to put it on. You can always use it again some other time.
Another option(not great but it works) jacks and blocks. Once you get it high enough run longer boards across so the rolling chassis will roll between the blocks and set it on. Its kind of like a dangeous game of Jenga if your by yourself but using time and patience it works.

I've done the jenga method before it works just make sure your boards an blocks are far enough apart so the wheels don't hit them ..... Don't ask

I thought about this method but make it out heavy steel pipe about the size of the old swing set pipe and grade 8 bolts so I can take it apart when not in use.
