The cherry picker setup is pretty safe if you have the room to move it around on a good flat and smooth surface. The photo in your post #12 shows that the guy who made that setup put some thought into it but you want to figure out how to keep the cab stable on the cross bar or have a couple of helpers to balance and help guide it.

A cherry picker on the outside with a strap is a great way to put some dents in the roof of the cab.
Great comments and reminds me of the value from ideas I get here. The T bar inside the cab is one I never considered.

This lifting idea here has worked well on my Suburban project.
