removing chassis?

[HJRAY]

Need some advice please. Whats involved in removing the van body from the chassis? I have all the panels of and now I cant stand looking at the well used chassis and want to paint it ! Can u do a reasonable job from underneath or am I wasting my time?

If you have the space invest in a 2 post hoist. Use it for what you want to do and either keep it or sell it. It is easy to lift a body off a chassis with one of these

Here are 2 x Molnars that ened on Ebay without selling. You can buy these or get new Chinese ones for less than $2k, but I'd buy the Aussie made Molnar over imports. If you have 3 phase power the 3phase ones are usually heaps cheaper.

While a hoist is a nice option. Removing the bolts (12/14 approx) along with disconnecting the handbrake and using a few mates to lift it is easy enough.
Others make stands that attach to the door hinge bolts and off the rear bumper bolts. The you can jack the body up and wheel the chassis out from underneath.

Check some of the threads here on the forum or some of the build threads on the Majestic Vanners forum.
