jacking points?

[gforbess@att.net (Gordon Forbess)]

I use a 4x4 about 6 inches long with a slot cut lengthwise (with a
skillsaw) that is big enough to clear the lower seam between the pan
and the rocker panel.  I center it on the jacking point and use a
standard floor jack to lift the body.  That is clearance enough to put
a jack stand under the 'doughnut' at either end.
