Mike, your setup looks good, too. My firewall/floorboard is all welded up so I couldn't run boards all the way through like you did.

You don't need to run boards! Anyplace that has structure from floor to a higher / highest point should be capable of carrying the body load. Add an eyebolt or "D" ring or suitable hoisting point and your good to go! If you can add lift points and spread the load it'll work even better. That's why I used the 2x4's Just wanted to spread the load as much as possible.

I couldn't bring myself to ever raise a body by the doors / roof. Just a "personal demon" ,

The way 406 Rich did his truck body is pretty cool but for me, I'd build more structure to get as close the "A" & "B" posts, again, just a "personal demon"....
