One-Man Cab & Bed Lift
 

One-Man Cab & Bed Lift
New From
Lewis Fabrication Design Inc.


I finished the plans and they are ready to ship out:) Just like the "Tip & Flip Cab Dolly" it comes with material lists, cut lists and step by step build pic's with details. It is designed for standard cabs of all years and fleet side beds. It uses your engine hoist/cherry picker and is truly a one man job. How many times have you needed a hand and no one was around to give you a hand! When you are done it all slides inside it self for easy storage in the corner out of the way.

Plans are $19.95 and this includes shipping and tax. You can order you plans from the link in my Signiture below. If you have any questions please ask!

Re: One-Man Cab & Bed Lift
 

Are you able to lift the box high enough to get the frame out without the wheels hitting the bottom of teh box?? I had built one of these setups, and the box was a challange, had to lift from the rear without the tailgate.

Re: One-Man Cab & Bed Lift
 

wish i had one of those when i took my cab off. 6 people and the ones in the back couldnt handle the weight and hit the bed putting hella dents in the rear of the cab. dammit

Re: One-Man Cab & Bed Lift
 

I have been stuck with just 3 people before and it is not safe for anyone that way, plus you might hurt your self. Most of the time I would be waiting for friends to get home to come over and give me a hand so I made this and it works alot better. Best part is you can set it 2" above your frame and then slid all your body mounts in place and drop the two front bolts in to line things up. Then just lower teh body untill it just starts to touch the rear mounts and slide under to install the rear bolts and if you need you can move the cab a bit to get it just lined up right and you are done. I don't know about you guys but my friends can never seem to just move it a bit to the left. It always ends up 1-2" to the left once it finaly breaks loose:lol:

Re: One-Man Cab & Bed Lift
 

Rok, have you figured out how to use this on a stepside?

Re: One-Man Cab & Bed Lift
 

Yes and No! It can be used but their is a good chance you could warp the side rails because they are not as stronge as the fleet sides. The steps are just rolled and not welded on the bed side tops and this is were you could run into trouble. If you want a set just let me know and I can add the step info to the regular package and you can take of this part on your own.

Vidal V. Both are sent out to you!

Thanks

See I am not only the President I am also a Client:lol: Got my cab all set on today for mock up. My buddy wanted to clim in for a pic:crazy: But I did lift the cab with th eseats still in as well as the drivers door in place. All you have to do is shift the center point over a bit to make up for the doors weight and away you go!

Re: One-Man Cab & Bed Lift
 

Sorry it took so long to get to your question but I had to put my bed on my frame to make sure. Yes you can depending on two things, 1) how high will your lift go and 2) is your truck lifted! I had to jack the back of my truck up some because it is so low that my lift would not clear my tank or trailing arms but it all cleared the tires and frame with no problem. I do know what you are saying about having to go from the tailgate end and it may need to be done depending on the above factors. Also if you are in a one car garage you may need to lift from the back and not the side. But how ever you need to do it, it sure is easy this way instead of with 4 friends! I just lowered it about 1/2" above teh mounts and then dropped in the bolts thru the mount holes and lowered it the rest of the way:)

Re: One-Man Cab & Bed Lift
 

Hey Kevin, how much do you estimate for material to build the one man lift and the tip and flip dolly? I am thinking about buy the both i just would like to know what it is going to cost me overall. Thanks

ps. Your truck is looking SWEET!!!!

Re: One-Man Cab & Bed Lift
 

Well I think I got a great deal on metal at the time I built the dollys because I bought about 200' of tube at once for projects. I only had about $100 +- into mine but most people are saying it is running about $200 if I remember right. The cab lift is minimal as far as material goes but I would plan $100 and their should be money left unless you buy it all at homedepot! Hope this helps.

Re: One-Man Cab & Bed Lift
 

Kevin, I just used my wifes' paypal to get the plans for the cab and bed lift headed my way.. keep up the good work there, you're makin' things a lot easier for a bunch of us out here. Merry Christmas!

Re: One-Man Cab & Bed Lift
 

And I just sent them off and we all know your real name is "Kalena":lol: Thank you and that is why I build this stuff in the first place. It is not to make money off them but it is to make my life alot easier and my prices cheaper for my customers who's rigs I work on. To tell you the truth on the tip and flips I just sold enough last week to cover my time for putting the plans together but I would rather make a $1 off each one and get more out their than $10 per set and not have as many guys get advantage of my sleepless nights:) And Merry Christmas as well..

kool and da gang.

Re: One-Man Cab & Bed Lift
 

I have just ordred plans for the lift..........Will it work with doors,windshield, and back glass intact? I would like to leave the cab intact until I have the chassis complete. Thanx Bill Burroughs

Re: One-Man Cab & Bed Lift
 

I just sent them off:) I would remove the doors because it adds alot of extra weight and one side will get in the way and make it harder to lift off. Just mark you doors and remove them, lift off the cab and slap them back on.

If anyone plans on having their cab painted off the frame and needs to trailer the cab back home you might want to check into the tip and flip dolly. I used the heck out of it for Lemon Drop and will be delivering the cab tonight on my trailer with out a single strap touching the new paint:metal: Not to mention it make it real easy on the painter!

Re: One-Man Cab & Bed Lift
 

I got the plans for the one man bed lift today and after reviewing I have only one question.......It seems like if you weld the nuts on the front to backarms to the end as detailed that when you secure the T-arms with the T handles that the handles will pertrude enough to contact the rear glass and maybe the windshield too if the glass is left in when lifting cab....would that be the case? In any event I suppose welding the nut on the side would resolve that minor issue. Plan to start building PDQ and the plans are well thought out and detailed...once I get the cab off and the chassis finished I will order the cab dolly plans and get to work.

Re: One-Man Cab & Bed Lift
 

hey kevin... how much to build me one and ship it out? i dont have a welder (or know how to weld!).

i would buy some of those plans, but im afraid the paper they are printed on isnt tough or large enough to hold my bed... *wink*

Re: One-Man Cab & Bed Lift
 

Sorry I did not see this before and answer. I think you are right but I have not yet lifted one with glass but if you weld it to the side it will do the same thing but be out of the way of any glass.

I have way to much on my plate right now to even think about doing this. Try back in a month or two if you still need one. PM me for a faster responce.

Re: One-Man Cab & Bed Lift
 

I just ordered my lift plans stuffed with turkey and one hand half in my pants doing my best al bundy impression. Thanks for making my next 2 years hopefully much easier and SAFER! The guys on this board are top notch.

Re: One-Man Cab & Bed Lift
 

I plan on ordering the lift. Looks great the help will be welcome. I have a hard enough time getting a few guys over to help, let alone 6. Will the dolly work for the 60-66?

Re: One-Man Cab & Bed Lift
 

ive had my cab an bed off mine aleast 3 times. and had no issues. 3 people to do the job..hmm, never any issues

Re: One-Man Cab & Bed Lift
 

You could lift the entire truck with those. :metal:

Re: One-Man Cab & Bed Lift
 

NO! The 67-72 is just that but I did just pick up 63 SWB fleet that I will be doing a dolly for so in a month or two it will be ready. I will put up a post in the 60-66 section at that time.

Kool you save $20:lol: I know what you mean I used to do mine with one other guy and my self. But now I have 3 buldging disks, 1 maybe ruptured and fluid around my lower spine. So now I do it my self or have my wife do it:lol: I don't need the money but you do need your back so please be carefull!
