Default Re: 1961 GMC 4000 Rescue and repair

I hear ya regarding safety. These tall trucks were designed to use bottle jacks as well. These days, everyone including me have floor jacks. You truly have to have a monster floor jack to reach a frame rail that is 30 inches off the ground. I now have a tall bottle jack on order. I also bought aftermarket wheels that will be in on Tuesday. Getting rid of the widow-maker split rims.
