Hey guys,
I know that this one isn't old trucks, but this may still be the right crew to
ask.
Anyone know where I can find a light weight and relatively cheap hydraulic jack
to use for swapping tires on my 86 Corvette for Solo2 (autocross)? I swap from
street tires to racing tires once I get to the track and then of course have to
put them back to go home. I'm not trailering anything at this point and the 86
pickup goes along as a support vehicle with all the stuff.
The one I have now has the lift necessary (not sure on the hard numbers here
but 18-in would be ok for sure) to jack the car up so that I can get both
wheels at once (ie, lift once each side instead of lifting once each wheel) but
it's too heavy for me to lift in/out of my pickup (support vehicle) since I
have back problems.
I found a "racing" jack advertised, first in Griot's and then found the source
vendor. These are aluminum and light but cost about $450-$650. For that money
I could buy a little trailer to pull behind the vette but would still have to
lug the jack around. I guess with the twins on the way, I'm trying to conserve
dollars.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Mark Noakes
