rhb1999 Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Hello, If anyone is interested, I went to a local u-pull it, and saw as of yesterday, a 1950 Buick, pretty much stripped, but still parts left. gopullit.com 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funning thing is those cars will probably sit like that for years with no problems, but theres no way in &&&&&& I would ever think about doing that same trick at home and crawling under it!!!

padgett Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Went to a yard looking for a compact spare. Found many...holding up cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketraider Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Try finding a jack of any description. Something about liability... the jacks disappear from the vehicles on entry and then the yard "can't find them". An old service station here made a 25' outdoor lube rack of wheels stacked and welded together with deck plate on top. They built a dirt ramp topped with concrete to drive vehicles on and off. There were four wheel stacks on each side, stacked 6 feet high, and a concrete pad underneath. It worked well for years- unless it was raining! The old fellow's business got big enough that he built a new shop with 25 feet of headroom and two 10klb capacity hydraulic lifts. But his BIL could still be seen using the old rack for lube jobs almost daily in good weather. There were also numerous old country stores around here that would do oil changes and tire service, and had a one-post hydraulic lift outside. A buddy's first paying job was doing oil changes for one of those old storekeepers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
