Anybody have the measurements on the wood car stands that DSE uses when they build their cars? I think they are made out of 2x4's

I made my cribbing from 2 x 4's. The size was 14" x 20", which happens to fit on the inexpensive Harbor Freight Tool wheel dollies. My cribbing cradles the tires at the front and rear, so the car will never roll off of them. I've pushed my 76 T/A project car around my garage raised 18" off the floor- no worries off the car coming off my cribbing while I push it around.

I also used 16p nails to build my cribbing- the nails just stick out past the lumber, locking them to the unit beneath it.
