Ideas for Transmission upright stand??
Anyone have ideas for a upright tranny work stand?
I'm thinking on a metal garbage can with a 3/4" piece of plywood and a hole cut into it then just drop the tranny in tail first to hold it at a decent hieght by using whatever diameter hole works.
Gonna start working on a 4l80 soon and looking for better ideas if possible.

I used a cheap hot water heater stand like this.

Cut a hole in the middle with a hole saw so the out put and input shaft can fit through.
Not the best pictures but should help.
In the second picture in the bottom left corner you can see the hole through the rags.

Here is a picture of my case standing up. Although it's empty you can see what I mean.
Don't mind the type, these are pictures from my build thread.

Mounted to a bench that's secured to the floor, you can now rotate the trans to any position you want

Decided to go ultra cheap and easy...

Bench is constructed from 2" rough cut and I buried the base plate with 4" lag bolts and I welded a nut to the back side of the plate so securing the angle iron via bolt was easy after I bolted the angle to the bell housing

I repurposed some metal from an exercise machine. I never liked that thing anyway..lol
I just put the hoop in the hydraulic press to hold it or clamp it to the work bench.
