This is what I am talking about:
Model T Ford Service Paragraph 57
I looked around and found these old threads:

I was considering using a I beam I have laying around.
I need it to stick out as seen in photo above.
I want measurements.
I would love to see more of what others have done.
Somewhere in the literature are the dimensions that Ford supplied to dealers for these. I have a set from an old dealership that were Smithy-forged from two Model T rear axles and some chain. I use them and they work well.
