Towing a truck with cab on bare frame?

I'm starting my puller build and I found a regular cab long bed that is just a cab on a bare frame, no leaf springs. How would I go about loading it on a rollback towtruck without tearing the frame up or damaging the body?

I thought I may place a couple 4x6x48 boards on the bottom to skid on, any other suggestions?

Forklift, crane, or tellehandler are probably the best methods to load it...

That, or a bunch of strong friends!!!

some 2x10 or 2x12 boards under the frame will let it slide right up.
