The 70's were the last cars that were built like that. I learned to drive on a
'76 Oldmobile Custom Cruiser, we called it "The Tank." Seated 8, with that
flip-up "way-back" seat, rear tailgate was motorized and disappeared under the
floor, rear glass slid into the roof. 455 V-8, curb weight according to the
registration was 5,000#. You couldn't break that thing if you tried. And yes,
it had that ratchet jack tha hooked into the bumper.

It doesn't have to be suicide, you just have to be sure that you put
something under your truck in case it decides to fall. I will be the very
first to admit that changing a tire with a HiLift is a bad plan, but it can
be done in a pinch.

The only real reason to have a HiLift is to get unstuck, either by lifting
the vehicle to place rocks under a tire, or using it as a winch to pull the
vehicle off of the obsticle. (I have never used my jack as a winch, but many
have.)

Hi Matt,
Probably the last of the family truckster:

before they radiused the wheel wells to be able to use the rubber baby
buggy bumpers.

That's it except ours was a light cream with fake woodgrain trim. Looked more
like the first pic from the page you lifted your pic from

The jack actually has 2 collapsable extensions inside.
when you think you've got it all the way up, keep cranking nad another
6" section will keep raising......put it under the axle to jack the
Jeep and you'll have no problem with 35-37" tires.
