Surely if you're skilled and capable of doing that kind of work, your time
is worth far more than it would take to improvise a pullback ram out of a
bottle jack.

Given that attitude; I'd pay someone to fix my car, etc. Few hobbies make
sense from a pure dollar aspect.

I was hope the smart folks here could conceive of a new approach; one we
had overlooked.

We are not necessarly looking to make such from a bottle jack. We could,
we think. Connect "cap" to piston, build a saddle

for the jack to sit within, with tabs to the die that does the
pushing. The saddle must reach around the frame rail, of course.
