I'm going to be removing the body from the frame on my '81 soon. My lift is not working currently, so I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to get the body up on a rotisserie. Any pictures or advice would be greatly appreciated.

what i don't have a picture of is how i lifted the back.there's two braces in the back where the gas tank goes up against,i put a large 8x8 across that and used a pallet jack to pick it up in the back slowly as i lifted the front with the hoist.a little at a time in the from then a little in the back,repeat until you've reached the height to roll the frame out.

Ok. Thank you for the pictures. I really appreciate it. I have access to a engine hoist and a small winch-operated crane on the back of a truck. I think that'll be all I'll need to pick the body up.
