Can we discuss cab/bed lifting methods?

[vandelay industries]

i don't actually need to lift the cab or bed. i need to lift a unibody car (a chevette) about no more than 3' off the ground repeatedly and efficiently----so i can slide the chassis and/or axles/wheels in and out to get the positioning right.

This will have to be done many, many times repeatedly and efficiently. Efficiently meaning it won't take too much time each time.

i know chevettes don't have frames-----i'm adding one.

Also, the entire drivetrain will be out along with many other parts, so i'm thinking the body will weigh about 1,400 lbs. if that.

Stipulations:
The ceiling in the garage is not very high----maybe 10 ft. If necessary i can do this outside, but would prefer not to, but will.

I had a friend do something line that on an old impala. He bought 4 Harbor freight engine hoist off of craigslist. Used one at each corner with straps between them.
