The body is ready to lift onto the frame in the morning. It looks straight forward but this is my first time.I will have four young guys from the Ag.Center , Carol bribes them with rolls and bars. I was planning on lifting it on to the frame from the rear and over the gas tank we will have six guys here . I planned on setting it down then raising one side at a time to slip in the splash aprons. Is this the best idea?
Any words of wisdom?? I want it to go good and do not want any mishaps.

Thanks Forum! Dave

David-
You got the right idea and the manpower to do it.

Just take it slow and careful!

Have Carol take pictures, too!

David, try to make it so you are free to watch out and make any alignments etc as things drop into place. You don't need you hands full when things go awry. Every time I have had my team of helpers around, I have had the splash aprons already in place

When coming in from the rear I have the front two lifters holding onto a piece of 3 x 2 which is long enough to let them walk past the back wheels.

Good luck.
