Best engine hoist ever! :lol:

It came out really cool. At first I wasn't on board with the yellow roof but I see how it ties together now. The interior looks pretty good in the pics even though you say it still needs work. The ralleys look way better than the aluminum wheels too. It kind of looks like it could have been a support vehicle for the old Sonoco TransAm team Camaro.

Yeah the IH engines are SO heavy and the almost unremoveable core support means you have to have a solid 6 feet of vertical movement. Cherry picker wouldnt do it and every motor we have ever had to pull out we used the crane on my dads service truck. Decided to finally build our own and this is what we came up with. Square tubing, a comealong, good chain hoist and a few chains and you can pull any motor out anywhere, in gravel, in a field, ect. Affordable too!

The sunoco camaro theme really does match. Never thought of it. Considering getting some different wheels but theres no good alternatives. The ralleys do look great so I want to keep them.
 
love this truck, great job on it, and thanks for sharing
