Great chronicaling on your build! What a job. Did the kids swingset really hold it up ok?
I've been wondering what I was going to do with lifting bed and cab if I get that involved.
There aren't any good sized trees around here I can use
Swing set did just fine. I had wrapped chains through the windshield opening to hold it up high off the frame. Wrapped the chains n heavy blanket to prevent bending of glass weatherstrip lip. But I here I should have hung it from door opening, much stronger spot I'm told. Make sure you weld up some braces in the cab, I didn't and mine stretched. But may not be as bad with a pickup compaired to an open panel/suburban body. Have more pics of it lifted also. Jeremy
