Well if you want to see newer examples with pictures there are a couple of new builds doing exactly that.
The only problem I can see is you need to pay the membership to see the pics.

the 4 - 6 guys (depending on how strong) lifting is the best way in my humble opinion. my 73 weighs around 630lbs without top, doors and tailgate. i used a tractor and the challenging part with that is balancing the lift where the firewall doesn't head to the sky and the end of the bed doesn't drag the ground
When I did my 74 we took everything off, it was light enough 4 of us carried it off .
I have used the hoist to put a utility bed on and by myself it wasn't the safest thing
Back in the 80’s & 90’s we would all have what we called lifting-party’s to gather up as many fellas as possible to lift cabs and beds when needed - as we got older chain falls and/or equipment has become the first options.
Like said above getting the c.o.g. right before the lift is crucial.
If you don’t mind sketchy, Jack, Hi lift and Cinders help me put a Sub body on a frame once.

I have done so many sketchy things in my life, last was 2 weeks ago, but I am still alive and in one piece.
Look forward to breaking bread and telling lies with you some day.
