Lift points?

Is the crossmember a good lift point for a floor jack on my 67? I have the floor stands on the subframe connecters, but I use the crossmember to lift it...

I don't see why not, it bolts up to the frame rails on either side.

I like to put the stands under the suspension so that is stays loaded. I do use the cross member under the oil pan to lift with. Never had a problem.

Ok, thanks. I just wanted to make sure I dont hurt anything. I guess you could use the front cross bar under the radiator too?? My oilpan barely clears the crossmember...

I don't recommend jacking under the radiator cross member. If you have a floor jack it is hard to get the thing in there between the strut rod mounts.
