Default 1936 model 68 lift points

Curious as to what all think are the best lift points on a 36 model 68 with a modern two point lift.

BTT

I assume you mean a two post lift, please clarify. I have never lifted my 1937 on this type of lift, but I lifted it many times on a single post lift when I worked at the gas station, back in the dark ages. I always lifted it where the X section meets the outer frame rails because there is double thickness of the frame flanges there.

Maybe a dumb question but is it the same frame as a 36 truck you think?

Pickup? yes, because it has essentially the same frame as the car. The Ford Truck has a completely different and much larger frame (131 1/2" and 157" wheelbase in 1935-36).
