1 and a half ton jacks OK ?
 
They have some 1 /1/2 ton scissor jacks on sale for $10,was wondering if they are too light for a 78 blazor.It,s nice to have some extras around

I don't trust them for these trucks.

Edit: I mean the scissor jacks. I use a 1.5 ton floor jack.

And get jack stands under there as soon as she's up; especially if you are removing a wheel.
I personally like scissor jacks but they are less stable and are not safety stands.

IMO--it's not so much getting the truck into the air but keeping it safely there.
