Yeah, suuuure! I saw your "where is Jack Astors?" post! ;-)
Maybe I should bring my GPS! :-)

Ah, OK I figured that was probably the case, otherwise
you would have said "bung" but thought I would ask. :-)

Dang! Did you get it at an Army/Navy store - a surplus unit
for jacking up tanks? :-) I just saw some place that had
aluminum jacks on sale - harbor freight maybe? I do remember
thinking the prices didn't seem like that great of a bargain
though. What is a good price on an aluminum jack? I can keep my
eyes open for you.
I just checked www.harborfreight.com - looks like they
have some aluminum jacks starting at $130. I'm not sure if
that is a good price or not.
The funny thing though is that it says they weigh 34.5 lbs.
When I saw your jack weight, I was about to comment that I
thought mine couldn't weigh more than 30-40lbs; I'm assuming
my estimate is WAY off. :-) Guess I don't know my own strength.
(Hey, I DO sort've *look* like Baby Huey...) ;-)
Unfortunately, even if that is a good price, they ship so
slow that there's no way it would get to me before Performance
World, even if I ordered it tonight, so it would take a separate
trip no matter what.
Anyway, if you find something at a good price in the States,
you are welcome as always to have it shipped to me. Maybe
I could stick it in the trailer (along with the cuda) and
meet you at TMP for a little racin' someday. :-)
Or maybe it would be cheaper for you to get one of those
"truck cranes" that attach to your bed for lifting heavy
items into the truck. :-) Or hire a pit crew - I'll work
for ya cheap - you can pay me one HEMI Cuda per season. ;-)
