Or find a couple of swing sets, and some come-a-longs. I use the rafters of my garage to do body lifting. Of course they've been built up some to handle the extra weight. _________________ Bob 65 Notch S with Sunroof

Howdy all...
I need to perform a body swap for my 69 SQB to a 68 SQB. I have the basic idea as to how to perform this, I was recommended to use camper lifts one at each fender area of the body to lift. The only issue I see with this is the cost of the camper jacks. They are like $280.00 each... anyone out there have a better idea how to lift the body off the chassis in a cheaper manner? I thought maybe using 4x4 hi-lift jacks might work, but there is not a whole lot of stability when using these! Thanks for any and all input. Or if there is someone out there locally that has a shop... hit me up! Thx - _________________ You laugh cause I'm different...
