I am lacking in man power so getting 6 or so willing bodies over to do it manually will probably not happen.
So. I have an engine crane….
If I was to lift the rear of the cab up and use blocks to create a pivot point that wasn’t the cab corners and then attach my engine crane to the lower most fender mounting points and lift… would that work without damaging anything?
I have 2 bodies to help stabilise and support along with a load of old tyres to place as shock absorbers.
Understand that as I lift everything will want to move back to will be doing outside the garage.
Any thoughts?

Paul, I will give you a ring.
I rolled my cab back, alone, onto a foam mattress on the chassis when I did the floor, years ago.
It is a great way to work, and all the ribs protect it from kinking or bending.
Do it.
