I sold a 2 wheel dolly the other day and have been looking for a lift for quite sometime. I found this one today. It's a year old but has never been used. Drove south of Atlanta to pick it up. I got it for less than 1/2 the price new. Now my dilemma is should I use it at home or at work. I'd diffenately use it more at work, but I want it at home too. I might set it up at home and clean it up and make sure it works. Dennis is gonna cringe since I didn't get a 2 post lift.

Re: My 1965 build thread
Nice find Allan. Those lifts come in handy. Especially with body work, and brake work. You will still be wanting a regular lift though, for under car work. Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking it, or you for getting it.

Re: My 1965 build thread
Alan,
I agree with Dennis, That lift is not what you need get rid of it and let me know when you do.....and where you put it... Nice score and I'm sure you will figure where she will most be used at...

Re: My 1965 build thread
Good score Alan. When I go down to SC in Aug i'm going to have to stop buy and see your truck in person, and 198's truck. I've been chopping up the frame of my truck to build the back. I'm like you Alan I got a second job, 66 galaxy 500. He wants the frame and motor built, so extra money for the truck!

Re: My 1965 build thread
Of course that is also the drawback, that smooth of a paintjob and everyyyyy body wants to touch it (with their sticky, greasy little fingers ;-)

Re: My 1965 build thread
True Dat - my buddy put $30k into his black paint and body work (on his 65' SS Chevelle) and last summer at a street show down town some homeless dude did too quick of a turn next to it with a back pack, with huge buckles attached.
Took a couple of grand off that car's value in an instant.

Yeah for now. finally got a car on it today. I had to go yesterday and get a fitting for the pump for the hose to hook up. Evidently there might be a restrictor that goes in the line cause the car comes down too fast. Even if your careful with the lever. I'm waiting on the manual to get here so I can see the IPB. Quote:
