Owners of Corvettes are very picky. It's funny I mention loading my Corvette on my rollback and here you are showing me how it's done. I was happy to see you can use the stinger to stabilize the bed. I wasn't sure about that.

yes that’s why I had trouble in the past leaving tho tow ball in it doesn’t sit flush to the ground the stinger definitely helps the truck and bed stay put!

Chances are with something so simple as a simple break down tow for a "luxury" vehicle or low vehicle, etc. If you are the only one doing the simple job, It's because you are getting suckered into doing it, In my experience, no one wants to pay for the extra work and liability that comes with these vehicles so they won't be run by me. I've got airbags and a good load angle, I wouldn't even need boards for this so it'd be no big deal, but the lower ones I won't do for the same fee, They will pay more or they will sit and wait for someone else.

you just need 2*6 5ft long and make a hole in the wood and bed and get a pin to lock in together never ever move up or down again! if you towing Lamborghini add extra 4 foot wood and lock in to the other wood with the pin that’s it

@mikemay1922
@mikemay1922 Жыл бұрын
The soft straps have small j hooks if they do the c4 will most Corvettes even the new one now I think the c3 doesn't have them and you have to use a big j hook or an endless loop for the control arm but behind the front tire near the rocker panel feel under there and you'll see an oval shaped hole that's where the baby j will go put them on there make sure the straps far enough forward where the cable hookup to your bridal is it bouncing on the oil pan it will definitely break it👍
