I'm more interested to know how the cab was raised and set onto those blocks. With the chassis rolled back like that, re-aligning the cab fasteners is going to a challenge.

Well the ancient Egyptians built the pyramids with a lot less, so modern equipment like cinder blocks, dimensional lumber and a floor jack probably made this a piece of cake for these guys.

I'm guessing they jacked up each corner one block at a time working in a circle.

i was kinda thinking the same thing myself.....

it ain't over till you get it back down and the nuts started...

i've had to move heavy stuff with minimal equipment,
i've built stuff using unistrut and hydraulic jacks that
can do some pretty cool stuff..... if i had to pick it doing
a mcguyver, i'd call a friend who owns a HVAC contracting
company, and have his little hydro crane come over, lift it
off, and set it on some cribbing next to the chassis.

that could be done for a case of beer, and a handshake.
nobody dies, no film at 11.

this picture belongs on swamp people, on the mullet channel.
