That truck looks like the clear deal. To get it on a lift at the shop, I guess they'll have to take the shaft loose. How do you secure the shaft when it's taken loose?

A piece of wire or rope can be used to hold the shaft up to somewhere on the frame.

Be aware that if it has power steering and they try to tow it with the front wheels on the ground, it might be uncontrollable. I towed one that way and had to leave the engine running the whole way as otherwise the steering, without hydraulic pressure, is all over the place and tying the wheel doesn't help.
