I know your looking for the lifter but you really don't need it . I think it is a waste of money.
I just loosened all the bolts and used the intake and exhaust port holes to lift the head off using my fingers.
If you leave the exhaust manifolds on the heads it might make it easier to lift by.
Just my .02.

I wasn't thinking very well when I posted the above reply. After re thinking it yes the tool would be very handy if the engine is still in the truck. Since mine is out of the truck I can work on and lift the heads a whole lot easier then if it was still bolted down in the engine compartment.

Any one have a source? I will be installing the heads on the frame mounted motor.

I made one that should work. The design may appear in an article in Military Vehicles Magazine.
