Roll down all the windows or remove all the doors.WAG: build a lifting frame (square box frame) that you can bolt together to go under the body and cross members that are above the highest point of the vehicle then a center support ie: have cables/straps rigged outside the width of the body that go to the upper center support at four corners, lift with your tractor.
Never done it myself, just a brain exercise.
FWIW
Or, watch some you tubby videos. One person did it with 4x4's (wood beams)
Perfect thanksRoll down all the windows or remove all the doors.
Slide a 2 x 12 through each set of open windows
Use straps (or chains but the chains may bend the drip rail on the edge) on both ends of the 2x12's. So 4 straps or chains total.
Come in from the side and roll the bucket forward on the tractor so you can use that for fine tuning the lift. The tip of the bucket should be about center of the truck. Wrap the chains over the front of the bucket over to and hook on the top back of the bucket. Hook the chains fairly tight but make sure not too tight to crease the roof. Probably about 2 feet of clearance between the bottom of the bucket and the top of the truck.
You'll need to confirm the front to back balance before you commit fully.
Make sure the tractor has enough ass to lift it. You're going to need to lift about 2500 lb +/- depending on how much stuff you've removed. Both hydraulic and weight.
