    Abstract: An apparatus supports automobile body parts for removal, installation or servicing. The apparatus includes a T-shaped dolly support and a vertical standard on which a support unit slides. The support unit includes a cross arm with cradles at its opposite ends for engaging under a body part to be handled and a head above the cradle which carries a clamp for securing a hook-carrying webbing strap to the support unit. A resilient bumper strip extends from the head to the cross arm. The position of the support unit is adjusted along the standard with a screw jack positioned behind the standard. The strap and hook assembly engages a part to be handled and draws it against the resilient bumper strip providing a stable support for the part. The cross arm is preferably tiltable from one side to the other. The apparatus can be used in conjunction with a wheel well adapter for supporting fenders and truck boxes.
