cab hoisting question?

I have a 91 f250 that I am going to be putting a 95 body on it. I got the body mostly removed from the 95, but my problem is getting the cab lifted high enough to get the cab off of the frame. I tried putting a cheery picker into the back of my ranger and lifting it but that did not work out to good.

Do you have wheel dollies... if so remove wheels/tires and set frame on dollies to do lift, or get 6 guys and just lift it (if interior pulled) other option is jack entire assembly frame and all up and then crib the cab and lower frame out from under...

Lots of friends, and lots of beer. But don't give them any beer until the cab is swapped over.

Why not? That's the best way to ensure everybody's at their strongest... or perhaps hard liquor would be the best "liquid strength."

Know anyone with a wrecker or have a wrecker service nearby? Just make sure you run the straps (padded of course) down to the bottom of the cab to hook them, and not thru the windows.
