Recommend a body lift kit?
Going to life the body of my 79 with a chain hoist. Can anyone recommend where to get a body lift kit or describe a successful alternative? I found the one at zip and mid america already.

I used a tow straps i bought at walmart $15.00 each they were 15' long and went between the body and frame worked well, I had to knot them to make them shorter. If i were to do it again i would put some towles between the straps and the body so as not to rub on the paint. :)

We used some heavy straps and an engine hoist. Check out the website in the link below and click on the removal and installation links.

OH yeah thats the $H!T. Gotta love that. At least the guy did it right and put one ton axles underneath of her!
II lifted my body with a chain fall and a come along for the front just to prevent the front clip from removing itself from the firewall.
