72c5,
I did use the cherry picker. First I lifted the front end and put some blocks between the frame and the body… then lifted the rear halfway… raised the front the rest of the way up and then the back end again to level it out. I originally lined it up to roll the frame out the front of the garage, but after I had the body lifted off I discovered it was just as easy to rotate the frame around the back of the scaffold on the roller skates. It’s working out really nice because I’m able to store all my resto crap and new parts under the body while I work on the chassis. You could… and I’ve seen guys lift the body as high as you need with the doors and front clip attached, but with the fresh paint, I would be too afraid of the body panels shifting and chipping the edges. Besides, in my case I had it painted in pieces. BTW, I could never have done this prior to all of the structural repair under the tub… it would have folded in half!!
