That would have been a site to see.
No pics, I was kinda busy operating the tractor. It's easy enough. I use a piece of steel C channel that fits from bed rail to bed rail. If you place it right at the front of the bed rail, it's pretty well balanced with the doors on. The C channel has a couple holes cut through a couple feet from each end. The holes have a slot to towards the middle, that it the for the chain link to slide into. Then just hook the chain to the bucket lift on the front of the tractor and carefully move it around. We got it close and rolled the chassis under it. Then just put enough lift on to shift it around where we wanted it. My son is 13, but big for his size and he can keep it fairly flat and steady.

Believe it or not, the top was harder to do this way because it was much higher and I should have tried a different way to place the straps.
