In the shop manual for my 54 3100, it says you can support the truck frame (with jackstands/blocks) right behind the rear shackle of the front leaf spring. That doesn't sound really safe to me -- it seems like the truck might be a bit nose-heavy. I could always put some heavy stuff in the truck bed just to be careful, but I was curious how everyone keeps the front of their truck in the air when, say, removing the front axle? I wonder where a stock truck's balance point is?
