Re: [old-chevy-truck] Re: Engine Stand Needed
Stay away from the 3 legged engines stands!!! Buy a decent one, getting injured because you cheaped out is not good logic. When you are done with it, put it for sale on www.craigslist.org and you will get most of your money back. It may go against logic, but I see some engine stands for sale in the auto parts category and that is where I would list it. You may even find one on craigslist right now cheap. Good Luck.

[old-chevy-truck] Re: Engine Stand Needed
I have a good 3 legged stand, and have had no trouble with it. It's an older Walker brand, so it's built stout. One thing you do need to watch out for though, is your 292 or any inline 6 leverages the weight out farther than a v8, so it puts a lot of strain on the head of the engine stand. I don't think the cheap ones will hold up for any length of time with an inline hanging on them. My son had a jeep six on his good stand, and it sagged down at the outer end. Just be careful! And if you go the cheap route, definitely get the 4 legs. --- In old-chevy-truck@yahoogroups.com, Karl Eastman wrote: > > Stay away from the 3 legged engines stands!!! > Buy a decent one, getting injured because you cheaped out is not good logic. > When you are done with it, put it for sale on www.craigslist.org and you > will get most of your money back. > It may go against logic, but I see some engine stands for sale in the auto > parts category and that is where I would list it. > You may even find one on craigslist right now cheap. > Good Luck. > > > > From: Nate > To: old-chevy-truck@yahoogroups.com > Sent: Monday, January 16, 2012 9:34 AM > Subject: [old-chevy-truck] Re: Engine Stand Needed > > >  > > Thank you Dennis ; > > I looked there and found a decent four point one for $59 , I was hoping to > spend less that that as this is , I hope , a one time need .

Re: [old-chevy-truck] Re: Engine Stand Needed
I would like to revise my earlier statement. If you have an older, Quality made stand from back in the days when they were built for Quality, not quantity...then that is the only way I would use a 3 legged stand.

[old-chevy-truck] clutch return spring
Hi guys. I am re-assembling my 235 in my 52 pu. I paid close attention to dis-assembly but apparently didn't notice the clutch return spring. Now I am having difficulty re-attaching the spring. Does it hook to the tab on the frame? and to the clutch linkage rod where it hooks to the main clutch lever? Is there a straight piece of wire the spring hooks to like the brake pedal return spring? Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Ken [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Ole Chevy and GMC trucks rule!

Re: [old-chevy-truck] Re: Engine Stand Needed
Funny story...I came home one day years ago with 4 new Lincoln (The welder company) jack stands. My wife said...oh my god, how much did they cost? I said over a hundred dollars a piece. She said you spent over $400.00 on those? I said yep, if my life isn't worth protecting for $400.00 to keep myself safe when workling on my toys, then I am done listening to your opinion. Divorce proceedings went well,but...I still have all my toys, and am still in one piece. Protecting myself has always been worth the arguement. Happy Rebuilding.

Re: [old-chevy-truck] Re: Engine Stand Needed
hot rod magazine did a engine stand shoot-out a while back. they pitted summit, snap-on and harbor freight engine stands against each other. as for stability; 4 wheels won over 3 wheel. but harbor freight won the competition. they tested the hf stand to failure by lowering a hoist with car down on it, with a motor on the stand, it almost picked the corner up on the car.
