Brian, if you flip that over and put the lift ring on the opposite side it will be a little stronger/safer should your welding be hiding any flaws.

If you mean the cross bar that has the D ring welded to it I put it that way because the two arms sticking out are angle iron,I did think about notching the angle so that I could put it on the underside but was in a hurry to get it done so that I could get the motor out,had a guy on the way to get it.


who is that guy?

I think Scott is saying rotate it 180*, then the weld's aren't near as critical.

Duh!
I didn't even think about turning the angle and drilling the holes in the other side.

I was in this huge hurry,then the guy never showed.

This is the one we made. The only thing I would recommend for anyone making one of these is steal your bottle jack out of your dodge ram and install in under the engine somewhere. I welded a socket on the end of the jackcrank and use my impact gun to bring the jack up and down. It works great at getting just the right angle.

What was being suggested was, ...take what you have now, rotate it 180 degrees, & weld on a new lifting ring,...that's all.

Yeah I see what I did,should have put those pieces on the opposite sides,or as you guys are trying to get through to me :-)
Flip it upside down and bolt it back on with a new D ring,I will probably do that.

Thx for pointing out what should have been the obvious.

If it hasn't broken yet ...

Some people just like to find things wrong with stuff other people have done.

I built it off of a store bought one a friend had and then loaned it to TX9Cuda and he made the plans when I ask for measurements for AAR1064 while he had it. Not that any of that is important. :-)

It has all the measurements and sizes and can be built for about $50 worth of steel.

My pleasure, I have also used it as a break in stand using a stationary core support and securing the stand.

Mopar346, those plans are a near identical copy of the US Cartool design. Did you dimension from one of those?

1/4" wall tubing is bigtime overkill. 3/16 is plenty and 1/8" would be just fine. There is just no need to make this so heavy you can't move it.

Actually never put a tape measure to anything but I did have a picture of a friends store bought one, I think I bought a 10 ft stick of the base tube and did the math to make it work to the best advantage and minimal excess. I build a lot of stuff by seeing something in someone's shop and thinking I need one but since I am notoriously cheap I built it myself and a lot of times out of scrap. I have an outside rotisserie for blasting the bottom of cars that is based on 2 4X6s planted in the ground, I'm sure I saw the basic design somewhere and then used a little thought to built it to suit my purpose.

As mentioned I use it as a break in stand as well, I have a Camaro core support bolts to a 2X4 strapped between 2 post in my shop with an aluminum radiator of unknown origin with a 79 4WD Dodge upper hose and a Cuda lower, wired and gauged with what I had lying around. I strap the stand between 4 post with tie down straps from my car trailer. I don't have plans for that but I could probably get that drawn up too. twocents
