I was cleaning out things and found this. Thought someone may want to make a set. They are the cats meow when it comes to lifting a T.

R.V. Anderson was tooling up to offer both the front and rear versions of these when he passed away. I picked up the prototype set from him at Hershey last year. Here are pics of the prototypes. I don't know if any of the vendors who picked up his products plan to introduce them.

With engine pans, the front design would not work. I wish I had the rear lifting rig when I removed the rear axle from my car

Liability concerns might doom any commercial offering.

I have an original set for the front, but never used them.

I spoke to R.V. At Hershey and got on the list for a set. If someone would take over the project I'd be interested and gladly sign any waiver of liability they proffered!

Who manufactured the original lifts like Dan pictured? I’ve looked mine over and can’t find a mark. They look a awfull lot like KR Wilson

I will check mine for a name.
The long set I think was made by a Ford dealer. That is why the page with dimensions. Dan.

I saw the ones RV made at Hershey, but there were none in his shop after he passed, and I didn't find any parts or drawings. Maybe Don Lang found something related to the project when he was in RV's shop.
