[QUOTE="BillM, post: 4306770, member: 45785"] When I was first working on my own running car, back in 1974, I had the 1963 Impala SS up on cheap thin-wall tubing jack stands. Heard this high pitched "creeeeee" sound, and looked at the jack stand nearest me. It was slowly folding one of the legs. I rolled out from under the car just before the jack stand collapsed. Went out that day and bought much heavier jack stands, and made space in the garage to work on the car. This was in Clovis, NM, back in the day. The locals would have cheered about a GI getting squooshed. Was on the "grass." Ground was pretty hard, but apparently not hard enough. I'm at least trainable, so never did that again, either.
