The short answer is we custom-built it.
I ''found'' the base [the "K" shaped part] outside a local auto parts store, leaning up against their dumpster. I sorta ''helped'' them get rid of it, see?
I just bought more extrusions, etc. as needed. My friend did the welding. The hydraulic ram was from Harbor Freight. We made it one-piece, not foldable, for more stability. I guess we built the mast as tall as we needed for our engine pick. The C/10 was up on jackstands.
We did partially dismantle the doghouse of my '68. I think the pass side fender stayed on for reference.
