Does anyone have any experience in picking up a complete body and dropping it on another frame, or rolling another into place?
I've done this before on other vehicles (trucks with bolt on fenders/core supports) and I would like to leave the entire powertrain intact on both H3's. That means picking the body up high enough to clear the engine.
My plan is to disconnect everything, unbolt body mounts, jack it up to the moon, remove wheels, support body, roll it on the rotors.
I will probably be doing this in my driveway. If I get gun-shy, I could probably drag everything to work and use a crane but would have limited time and would have to fab up all of my lifting devices ahead of time. I may also be able to drag it to my part-time job that has a 9,000lb cap forklift. Hmm...
