Evangelos,
The best way is to use the original jack where there is a reinforced tube to
raise both front and back of each side. If you use a hydraulic jack there
is a reinforced point on the frame of my 72 B that I use to jack up the
front. Be careful or you will dent the frame. I would use a 2 x 4 scrap of
wood between the frame and the hydraulic jack to help disperse the jack
pressure along the frame. Once the front or side of the car is raised, I
place my jack stand on the frame between the wheel and the center jack point
behind the place where the frame starts to bend up towards the wheel well.
I have put dents in the frame by not using a block of wood between the jack
and the frame so I know now to be careful about that.
Good luck,
Dave 72 B
