Anybody have easy 1 man shell removal systym and storage? I have a heavy shell and looking for easy way to remove and re-install. Don't have room in garage so it would have to be outside in the yard. Thanks.
Back when I had a good strong back, I would get in the truck bed, center myself under the shell, lift it and walk/slide it back until it just balanced on the end of the bed rails.
Then get out of the truck bed, grab the shell and drag it back a little, tilt the shell back and slide/lower the rear end until it touches the ground.
Move the truck forward a little bit.
Then prop a 2x4 under the shell to support the shell.
Move the truck away and lower the shell onto the ground by hand.
Reverse the process for putting back on the truck.
You don't need no stinking equipment or help to take a shell off.
Its a one man job.
