What do you mean? The whole body? Many people have replaced body parts, someone could have done the whole body. Is it full of rust or something?

I used my engine hoist to change the cab on the F250. It *should* work for you. Just make sure to find the center of gravity first before you lift it too high.

I took the body off my 84 bronco(which is the same as yours only a different front clip) and it surprised me how heavy it is. I started by using pedestall hand hoists however I didnt like how unstable it was. I work construction for a living so i loaded the bronco up and took it to the company yard and used a 950 loader to lift the body off. This may not be possible for most people however a sturdy "A" frame will do just fine but like Brokebronco said center of gravity is key. Its not a difficult project however dont underestimate the bodies weight. one more thing lable all wire connections.....cody
