The two most common methods ive seen
1- invite 3 friends over and supply the beer
2- Use an engine hoist from the side.
I did it with yellow tow straps wrapped around the roof (only works if the truck is low enough).
Ive seen others roll down the windows and stick the hoist inside the cab to lift, I guess they chained or strapped to something inside the cab, possibly to the seat belt anchor holes in the floor and cab support holes maybe.
Ive also seen one guy put the hoist in the window and put 2x4s on top of the hoist arm as spreader bars against the roof.
you may be able to lift from the front with an engine hoist if it extends far enough and has a decent weight capacity at full extension. (in your narrow garage)
