Re: Jacking safely

[Don <mopar4me@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Welcome!  Although the 62-65 forum is predominately B Bodies, there are a few of us early A and C Body lovers here as well.  I personally have 3 65's - a Dart GT convertible, Dart wagon and Barracuda.  Am also a member of other Mopar forums - ForABodiesOnly; SlantSix.org and others.

I've always used the lower control arms out by the wheels to lift the front and by the front of the frame by the rear spring hangers to lift my A Bodies.  I recently parted out a very rusty 65 Signet convertible and found running length-wise within the rocker panel a 1/4 inch or so steel stiffening beam!  As rusty as this car was, it didn't flex when I jacked it up.  I suspect your 'vert as well as my Dart has the same set-up.

Hi all.  I'm a new member to this group.  I realize my '65 Valiant convertible is a little

out of the scope of this group,  but she is a mopar!  

This is my very first vintage convertible car and I'm a little nervous about the correct/safe/no frame tweak

method of jacking it up.   I'm limited to using a floor jack.  Ok to do one corner at a time

using the usual 4 lifting points from the shop manual?  

Thanks for any help with my goofy question.
