Here is my page os the 73 I did in my garage. I used te lift sttaps that atached to the rocker channels but after seeing thge condition they were in I felt lucky I didn't drop the body. If your rocker channels are in oubt, get straps that will reach all the way under the body.

He was kinda pissed at me when he learned I bought the car! Seems he had unknown to me a 69 427 upstairs amongst the 20+ blocks Horded for years up there.
