Due to room constraints, my Model A truck will be stored outside, covered by tarps. To preserve the tires, would it be best to put jack stands under the front and rear axles and keep the tires off the ground?

Has anybody used this with a Harbor Freight engine stand. There does not appear to be an easy way to adapt it. Only way I can figure is to exchange it for the one in the stand and then drill a bunch of holes in the steel tube so you can rotate it around. Am I missing something here? Thanks, Kieran

I have been watching all the videos available and reading as much as I can about doing this on my AA truck (once back from vacation) and I think I am missing something. I understand the concept of making a reference line on the front of the tires, taking that measurement and then comparing it to...

I need to tap in to the collective wisdom of this site. I just purchased a 1930, Model AA heavy duty truck. Prior to purchasing it, I new there were several issues that would need attention right off. The first issue is stalling. Will stall when just sitting there at idle and also with...
