    I knew that I was going to be replacing the body sections pretty quick and wanted to have a better way to handle them. The few times I’ve moved them in the past, I just rigged up something, but it was always a little shaky. I put in an overhead hoist when I built my shop and it sure makes moving heavy stuff easier.



    I built this rig out of some 2x4’s. It will come apart so that I can store it. This will make pulling and installing the sections a lot easier and make me feel a little more confident about not dropping one, since I work by myself pretty much all the time.

    With all the mods I have made to the original chassis, I’m going to have to drop the front half of the body straight down without a whole lot of wiggling. This frame allows me to do that.
