I have some views of my set-up in my gallery. My solution consists of two sidewinder winches mounted to reinforcement plates on the wall. Each has two wire cables feeding to the rafters where pulleys route the cables to either side of the body. I use a 2"x6" board with spacer blocks in front that sit right at the front edge of the foot boxes. The body needs to be lifted by two people to get it in. The rear 2"x6" slides thru in front of the frame tubes and each end is contoured a little to miss the forward section of the flare. I also took a 1"x6" and cut it to the exact cockpit dimension and fastened it to a larger piece of plywood so it sits in place between front and rear edge of the cockpit. This eliminates any flex under the doors. One winch raises the front, the other raises the rear. I figure the body is about 400 lbs, so don't use junk hardware, but 100 lbs per corner is not much for loading. That means the single pulleys see 200 # each and the double pulleys 400 # at the ceiling. If you are doing a one time body off, make the cockpit spacer and call some friends :-)
