I apologize if this ends up being a repetitive post as my first attempt appears to hang not gone through (likely operator error on my part).

I have two questions regarding jacking by ‘37 120.

1) What are the best jack points?

2) What type of jack do you recommend to keep in the car (once I get it back on the road)?

I carry a small portable floor Jack from harbor freight and a Jack stand.

Thanks. I have both of those. Sounds like I should have what I need.

I bought a similar combo but have also wondered if there are recommendations for jack points. I have a 39 Six and still have just been using my ramps until I get some clarity/confidence to use my jack setup.

In the back, I always jack under the diff, and put jackstands under the axle tube as far outboard as possible.

In the front, I jack under the front engine cross member.

I put the jackstands on the framerail where the X member connects.

This applies to my 37 and my 54.

Thanks!
