At one time we had 2 of the adjustable ones at the shop; glad I didn't pay for them. Yikes!

All the creepers I bought in my life wouldn’t come close to that!
They Vyper ones are even more https://www.vyperindustrial.com/products/lay-down-creeper
Gotta pay for that truck somehow.
Is it capable of completing the repairs as well? I think I’ll stick with cardboard, it builds character.I remember when I had a gravel driveway we specifically poured a concrete pad to be my work shop -- I thought that was a HUGE step up at the time -- almost 30 years ago
Now, I'm a whiny b**** without a climate controlled shop and 2-post!
The idea of paying $500 for that makes me angry.
My local hardware stores gets new stock of glass sheets every week. They come wrapped in cardboard, and that store gives it away.
I keep a decent stock of it against a cellar wall. If I get oil on a sheet I just throw it away.

Judging by your name, we are in the same vicinity. Any chance you’d want to share which store? I’d love to grab some for the Cummins oil bath oil changes

Yes, once you drop the filter down inside the passenger wheel well, you then install a plastic filter plug and pull it out sideways. The plastic plug is a life saver though. Thats not even the worst part, pulling the drain plug and 3 gallons of oil coming out is like lying beside an elephant pissing.
Ya the first time I did one of those trucks I didnt know what a mess it was going to make
My shop is full of stuff so I'm outside in the cold, rain, mud, burning sun, etc.
Would feel weird working inside at this point, has been probably 10 years

I have no idea what I paid for it, but I've had my Snap-On creeper for over 35 years. It is by far one of the best investments I made in equipment. You only have to use it once to know why. Smooth, balanced, doesn't smack you in the back when you sit on a corner, actually rolls over cracks in cement. Now for sure, I wouldn't pay $500 for one now, but whatever I paid for it then, I'm glad I did.
Have you considered a Valv-O-Max oil drain valve that you can connect a hose to?
And would slightly turning the filter to be sure it is not stuck, and then punching holes in it with a screwdriver to drain it, work for that application? For applications where this works you gots to make several deep holes and the bigger the better.
