I recently purchased a 1972 C/B Olds 98 ambulance, which I am waiting to receive. I have gotten the impression from this forum that this vehicle weighs around 5500-6000 lbs. I have also gotten the impression that using a standard GM bumper jack for this make/model/year car will likely damage the bumper(s) due to weight. Are there recognized "jacking points" for this vehicle, for instance, the underbody area just behind the front wheel well or just forward of the rear wheel well, like many other vehicles? Can you damage anything only lifting one point, versus lifting the front evenly, etc.
My mechanic is concerned about the weight as well, as he wants to confirm that his lift is rated high enough to accommodate my ambulance.
Thanks in advance.
