Pulling off a Crewcab any ideas?

I am pulling off a stripped out f350 crewcab to put on another frame, any ideas what would be the easiest way to lift it off one frame and onto another. They are in the yard, not on concrete.

Easiest way would be to hire a small crane after you get the cab ready to move. I've moved a huge hot tub over a house with a small crane...not the cheapest way, but definitely was the easiest.

I'm thinking saw horses on either side. Jack the cab up from under and place 4x4s across. roll the old frame out and new one in. Dunno, never done it but it sounded good in my head.

I cannot remember where u are in atl but u might could get one of the local service trucks for Cat or the others to lift it up for u. If u know any of them with a service truck personally, u might could slide them a few dollars to do it on their way home.

I pulled it off today with a Bobcat, a few 4x4 Blocks, and 3 - 2" ratchet straps, not easy, but it worked.
