My ceiling height is 12'10" but about 2' less at the chain block. I bought the straps from Mid Americia and I'm not sure if they all come the same lenght but I had a hell of a time taking the body off because they were so long. Don't know what they think people have for ceiling height. I had them shortened 2' before I put the body back on and it went on like a dream. It took about a half hour to lift it and bolt it back down. For the frame believe it of not I used 2 coats of POR15.and 1 coat of POR15 chassis black, all 3 coats put on with a 2" paint brush. Not bad for $80. and about 6 hours work. Gotta try to save a buck somewhere. It's not going to be a trailor queen if you know what I mean.

I have been using por-15 for a few years now and it is really holding up well. The only place I do have some problems with it is on the master cylinder.
