Hey Domino,
I put my A body on my frame myself. It wasn't hard to do , but took patience...something I had to work on for this job !
I put the body up sufficiently , a little at a time, on blocks and 2x4s. When high enough, I rolled the frame under the body and then worked the body back down in reverse of putting it up. Labor intensive, but worked slowly and it worked for me ! I'd have preferred to suspend it with a chain/pulley setup, but a guy has to work with what you have,eh ! I think that your body, as described, shouldn't weigh more than 300 lbs +/- few.
