u need it highenough to clear the turret, low enough to work on it, balanced correctly and some sort of geared arrangement so it stops spinning where u want it, depending on the work u have to perform, u could use either the hinge bolt area in conjunction with the striker section of the rear door pillar then adjust the arm length till it's balanced or pickup on the cab mounts and once again adjust arm length for balance, otherwise it may be a case of drilling holes to do the work then weld up when finnished, i think it depends on if the rotisserie is going to be used for paint or panel, don't forget that if u brace the jig uprights on the inside allow for the cab to spin otherwise u may have more repairs than before.
