Ok You have a Crew cab I'm jealous. Mine is simply a 2 door and smaller to work with. I can post some picks of how I did the rigging of the rotisserie and you can get the idea. The cab on mine is about 300 - 400 lb. Your cab is going to be at least 400-500 with the added metal. I used angle Iron from heavy industrial shelving I got at the scrap yard. 1" square tubing will work too. The span is small and doesn't have much room to flex. I will post some quick sketches tomorrow for how I would proceed to lift yours. I will be checking the web on friday but probably late.

JDM, thanks for help. My off day was taken away and I'll be stressing at work tomorrow instead of the the good kind I get outa the truck.

Mine is on the cusp of being crushed if I don't make progress.... go to member directory and check out member toddn78 he's got a sweet ride...

 

From what I can see the frame looks in pretty good shape.Is that dirt or rust on the back of the cab?She sure looks heavy duty.

 

Wow! you have a tent to work under! All of my work has been done outdoors. My dad has a new shop that I could pull the Bronco into, but it already has alot of "junk" in the way. We've had to fit his truck and mine inside several times due to threat of hail. but have been lucky!
Anyway, back to frame work. With the double-cab, you may be able to use my method of raising one side at a time. I do like the idea of lifting the whole cab section enough to support it with an A-frame-chain hoist or at least some 4x4's on sawhorses, and rolling the chassis out from under it.

 

Well, I had to laugh when I read your post jsm84! My wife doesn't see the humor. I wrote an earlier post stating that I'm upscale shadetree.

I'm feeling my energy (and summer) slipping away... I want to work on my truck! I think you make me realize that I don't have to eat the whole pie and I can accomplish what I want sticking to the basics. Lifting a whole cab off was not something I orginally envisioned doing. The other posts, have given me various ideas, labor saving overall and I have a good bit of cab work to do... and now they don't look 2b too much of a stretch...

As I write I think I'm coming to a conclusion. 1) lift cab from frame using jacks with wood plate or such... enough to get it up enough to put a couple beams under it supported by sawhorses and set it down. 2) roll out frame. 3)concentrate 4 now on frame cleaning and painting, brake lines, fuel lines, fuel tank, wiring maybe. 5) install engine and transmission.

At this point, I can run moonshine or go for cab and bed. Bed looks rough, but I'm thinking it's doable but I'll come back to that . missauga, that dark looks 2b paint but it's not through the metal... I haven't inspected it fully. there is cancer/breakthrough at pass cab corner and driver's door bottom both about 2 inches. fred flinstone like my setup cause he can cool his feet. the bed has a feature in one corner that allows one to pass tools through, and some slow dents and such.
