ISO car museum jackstands

In the warehouse where I office during the day, my boss has a collection of about 55 collector cars. All but a few of them never move, except down. At any given time 1/3 of them have a flat tire. So we want to get the weight off the tires. We looked at jackstands, including the nice sleek ones that are coming out. But those are a bit expensive when you are looking at 200 or so. I know that car museums use a more specialized stand that just supports the weight at the ball joint, with the tire touching the ground in it's normal position. That's what we really need. Is there a source for those, or are they custom-made? Alternately is there anyone in the DFW area who would like to bid on 200 simple stands ? All we really need is a 6" steel plate with a 12" pice of heavy-wall 2" square tubing welded to the center. We can cut them to fit the individual cars with a chopsaw.Other suggestions welcome --- -Rex BurkheimerWM AutomotiveFort Worth TX

That does look interesting. I have seen those, may have owned some in the dim past. Still more than the boss would want to pay, but there may be a wholesale source in qty 200. Thanks for the link
