Default Body Lift

Simple question: how many guys does it take to lift a 69 body with stripped interior off a dolly, or is it even doable without a lift?

Very doable from what I'm hearing. 5-6 guys can do it without a problem.

Maybe a couple Dallas Cowboys line backers or usually 6 and one underneath to see what you forgot to disconnect ,there always seems to be something .

I did mine by myself. Rent or borrow an engine hoist and a body lift strap kit. I shortened the straps and used the engine hoist to lift the body. I rolled the frame out from under body and rolled a body dolly under the car and set the body on the dolly. Good luck. Jerry

thanks for the replies, body is already on a dolly, so no issues with lifting off the frame
