Re: home made shop tools etc?

I built this rack to hold my Panel body:










It took 8 men and a boy to lift the body onto it, though. I'll have an overhead hoist rigged up to put it back on the frame

Re: home made shop tools etc?

My old man made this temporary A-frame with some scrap wood and a 4x4 beam. I made the bed lifting device that you can barely see in the picture out of some 3/4x 2inch inch bar stock and two pieces of 2 1/2 x 24 inch square tubing. Welded the bar stock on the bottom side of the tubing pieces standing on end. Find the sweet spot that balances the bed and makes lifting the bed off and on easy.
