I've figured out how to get the burned body off the good frame, and drive train. That's simple. As to the donor body. Put the entire coach up on jack stands so it's high enough to disconnect everything that needs to be done. Then make a stand to hold the original jack stable. Next raise the body with those jacks to a height that I need. Use a plumb bob to make reference marks on the floor so that when I bring the other frame in. I'll know were to position it before raising. At the end of the rally. We're going to the Twin City's in Minnesota. Then to Cedar Rapids. Anyone have extra jacks? Any thoughts on this idea?

Trying to picture this in my head... I think the gmc jack, looked similar to a high lift jack, and when i have moved sheds and stuff, I will use my high lift jack. very unstable jacking and dealing with that jack, but with a shed, accuracy is not needed.

I would be thinking of making some sort of jig. I would also call up dan Stuckey and talk to him about it. or others that have done the frame swaps.
