Better picker upper

Ok I’m in a jam; I’ve been using my buddies backhoe to lift my body on and off, well now the thing blew the motor. I need a new and cheap way to lift my body on to the frame. Guys I need help, because I ain’t going to have any fun if I can’t drive my truck, and when I don’t have any fun I get mean, I start pulling the wings off of flies, and stealing candy from babies, so save the flies, and stop the children from crying, by helping me.

Buy a std engine hoist. It can be rigged to lift the body if you take the doors off.

The box can be picked by 4 guys. I stick the hoist thru the door and pick with a chain to bolts.
