1966 GT 350 jacking points?.....

original lower a-arms have a bracket welded to the bottom side. That bracket is the jacking point. NPD sells the bracket if you have replacement lower a-arm which would be lacking the bracket.

I know I am going to get grief for this, but if you get a thick piece of wood wider than the frame rail, and a foot or so in length you can use the frame rail without damaging it. Place the jack as far forward as you can. No, this is not the factory jack point, and if you don't protect the frame rail you will bend it. In fact if you look at yours now it probably has dents pushed into it from jacking. Just a guess. There are actual slots along the rockers for placement of the original style jack, but I never did like that idea either. OK, go ahead, I have my armor on for the flack I am about to take. Cheers

Tommy,

I'm with you on all points. It wouldn't surprise me to find out that a lot of folks do it this way. I know I do when I use a floor jack. And yes my car has numerous dents from abuse by previous owners.

 

No grief from me Tommy, that's exactly how I do it.

I know some guys like to use the cross member. I tried that once but it made me quite nervous to see the cross member flex with the original T-pan just above it. It didn't bend, just flex, and did return to the original shape but that was enough for me not to ever try it again.

 

don't feel too bad, my frame rails are in the same, or worse, condition. I take comfort in that my dents aren't rusty.

By using a block of wood, at least I'm not making it worse.

You can use a floor jack directly on the motor support tube without denting it.
