It was the best $800 I have ever spent... I have been known to be called a stubborn old koot and never ask for help.
So when I bought this gantry from Princess Auto, now I don't have to ask my neighbors or my boys to come over to help give me a lift.
Adjustable height.. it will go low to go under the garage door opener or go right up to the 11.5 ft ceiling
I just wish it was wider to straddle my car hauler trailer.

 

The 1986 body is now on the 1987 chassis

 

You got that done pretty quick.


the lift looks great. How many inches? I'd guess at least 3 or 4".

 

No lift It is still all stock suspension. I was actually considering upgrading. The stock leafs are looking rather tiered.
I did order a complete body mount kit from LMC. Which includes all the box mount bolt and all the cab mount bolt and rubber including the rad support rubbers and bolts.

 

She's lookin' pretty good there, Glen! Are you going to keep the stock beige color with brown stripe? Honestly, I kinda like it.

 

Thanks, I'm real happy with the way she is going together... I liked the beige and brown in the beginning But now I've changed my mind and doing a full color change to black with a grey interior.

 

Here are a few more pictures of some progress on my truck
