I know somewhere in the last couple of weeks, someone had a material list
and directions to build ramps to raise the GMC....I can't find that thread!
Can you help direct me...I'd like to head to the building supply store in
the morning.
Thanks
Mike in NS

Mike,
Since you use GMail, why don't you just go to the top of the page, type in
"ramp" and get a list of all the threads ever posted which contain the word
"ramp". Beats trying to count gears. :-)

As often happens in conversation, the ramp discussion came from the pictures in the discussion of weather covers. Several links in the following thread lead to the both rear ramps and the 2x jack stands on front.

surprisingly cheap and strong:

That is what I have only in black. They say 12,000 pounds on them. Considering the front weighs about 4,000, I figure I'm within their capacity.

I thought I'd revive this thread I read a few weeks back to give some feedback. I'm a total newbie here....bought a '78 Palm Beach in October. I needed to drop the tanks and replace fuel lines due to leaking gas when the tanks were filled.
I built the ramps seen here http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/showphoto.php?photo=5006
These things are solid - I used all treated wood (so they are heavy as all get out), and made a shorter set for the front too. They really raise things up to a nice working height with plenty of room for working, using tools and crawling around. Effortless raising compared to jacking. Well worth the time it took to make them. Thanks to Kelvin for the nice drawing. Works nice for my situation.

Galen,
Welcome to the fun house!
Would suggest you create a signature for the end of your messages that looks similar to the one below, it will help us help you to
know what kind of GMC you have and where your are.

Good idea to also use, Jack Hooks, or jack stands, with the ramps.

Gene,
I like your ramps even better! Are they individual boards that you stack up? They sure would be easier to lug around!
Never mind, I just spotted the little wheel under the left end.
