How long does it take for you guys to get a body off of a frame like that?

Would it be too much trouble to take a few measurements whille the body is up in the air?

Engine height from ground, engine width and location relative to axle centerline, end of frame rail or some other distinguishable point and finally front of tire to front of frame rail.

If it's too much trouble, no worries.

Thanks

Derive those dims from the info in the Body Builders books...

Guess I should have thought of that since I have about a dozen of them from other trucks and vehicle, none for the E-Series though.

EDIT: Downloaded the body builder's pages for E-250 stripped chassis and cutaway. Nothing about height of engine or it's position relative to the axle or other vehicle components.

Will keep looking, thanks.

Thanks for posting that MG. I'll try to get those dims for ya DzlToy. Have to get everyone prepped at the shop for my departure next week so I may not have time until I get back.

No hurry Chris, I will be at SEMA all next week as well.

Thanks

Project AlphaVan is on the dolly and ready for some prep before it goes to the body shop.

Do you have simply screwed four transport wheels under the body or is it an optical illusion ?

There's a full box cradle under there made from 2x2 with some 12" risers to get it off the ground.

That new Ford GT is something else. Ram Conversion isn't too bad either. And of course the Optima van...:drool::drool:

I like the sound of that ... Cummins? NV?

... and thanks for sharing the pictures. Congrats on the Optima build, that's some great exposure (not that you particularly need it).

The 911's might be the coolest things you took pics of, no offense to the van.
