[QUOTE="1st Vette, post: 318390, member: 8909"] Oh my , you may well have a point there but that’s why they make axle stands. I think that the point where the jack actually makes contact may well be somewhat stronger than the areas adjacent to it although the entire frame is still quite strong. There is also a balance component involved as well . If you are lowering the vehicle onto 12x12 timber set adjacent to the jack point the weight is distributed over a larger area than the small contact point of the jack so i don’t see any issues from that standpoint. I haven’t seen the underside of a C8 yet, unfortunately, but I assume the vehicle can be placed on axle stands which should also do the trick. I may be wrong on that though, god knows I have been before, lol . Really just a suggestion from the start here but I have my 1964 Bonneville on blocks as we speak. And yes it is a considerably different animal. Is it necessary for storage? Maybe not but some people like to do it. I have though seen it many times over the years. Of course that doesn’t necessarily make it right. [/QUOTE]
