Too bad the trans lift isn't higher up.

Sure. I have a full (6ft.) Rise platform lift. It is a 7000 lb. Atlas brand lift from Greg Smith Equipment company. It was delivered and installed by a suggested installer. The center is open which helps for getting to the trans and drive shaft. My current garage only allows a 4 foot rise. I use the lift for modern vehicles too. The Packard frame rails in the front are much narrower than modern unibody car lift points. If you have the height and width in your garage I would go 2 post. Easier to line up the car and easy access to everything underneath. If you have height and or width issues a platform lift helps fit it in small places. Happy to take any pics if you like.

The rails I built are to lift the car but give access to drop tranny. Usually I stick straight tubes front and back to lift.

Regards

Thanks planning to build a version of that out of angle iron and 2x10.

The top bolt is much easier with a hole.

I have all the connections loose. Hopefully today is the day it comes out. Is it a good idea to lossen the engine mounts? The manual is kind of vague.

Having trouble with Paul's disc brake method. Rotor seems to thin. Posted issue in modification section.

I am working on this. When I put 73 galaxie rotors on the f100 spindles. The galaxie rotors weren't lining up right. They are too short. Any suggestions? The pads would fall out once worn. The hat is the same thickness but the hub is thinner on the galaxie rotors.

Thanks!

On here it says the weight is 4190 pounds. In the spec book under springs. It says the front loat is 2280 pounds and the rear load is 1090 pounds. 2280 + 1090 doesn't equal 4190. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
