I agree with Paul. Front or rear by center or end, but then place a jack stand and remove jack. Easiest is lift in center and stands to the outside.

OK so jack goes under differential or front spring and both wheels come off the ground; got it.


Question is where should I put the jackstands? I would think on the the axle housing more outboard towards the wheels onthe rear but where on the front? IS the frame near the wheels used as the jackstand contact position?


I have never jacked or supported a Model A so please take it easy on me
Pictures are welcome...



As always THANK YOU for all the help!!

I put them under the axles for most work. Axle work would require the jackstands under the frame.
