First Gen Body Removal

I'm looking at pulling body off the frame. Most accessible place I can see for my lift/shop is the rocker pinch welds. I've got some full length oak beams I can support the entire length of each rocker pinch weld, then place lift pads under those. I can screw/bolt the lift arms and beams for stability but not sure if body weight can be supported by rockers. Any one have first hand experience?
Thanks, S.

check out @red_october 's thread
he has some pics of the underside of the body

as long as you unhook the radiator lines, fuel filler, any wiring etc i am pretty sure that the rockers would support the weight
my old 84 truck supported the entire weight of the truck on the passenger side when i got wedged on a 4 wheel trip a lifetime ago before the days of rock sliders
