I'm wanting to pull the cab off my '10 F350 for better access to pull the engine for a reliability rebuild. I don't have access to a two post lift and would rather not spend the 5K + for a lift and the associated hookups. I do have a backhoe with fork attachments and interested if anyone has built a fixture to lift the cab off the truck using this type of appliance. Am a competent welder and have a CNC plasma, lathe, torches and welder and have a lot of tubular stock laying around the shop that I could use. I'm thinking about an adjustable cage type structure with fork pockets that would mimic the lift points found on two post lifts. Thoughts?
