Topside Creeper?

[JGK]

My wife was trying to hunt down a birthday present for me today and wasn't having much luck (bless her soul for the thought, though). She noticed I was eyeing a thing called a Topside Creeper or "Topsider" in a recent Northern Tools catalog. This is a rig which looks like a ladder bent like a "C" which allows you to work over the engine bay with a chest support so you aren't leanin' on the fender or radiator or holding yourself up with one hand all the time.



Unfortunately, while the price seems OK (2 bills), the shipping is another 100



Has anyone out there come across one of these? Can they be had via another source? Is this a "best price"? Other versions available? Looks like a winner to save my legs, back, and fender!



Check this link for particulars. I thought I'd give them a call tomorrow, as well.

I saw one of those at a shop. Looks like it would come in real handy.



Looks like something you could build one pretty easy if you have a welder.

Could swear this week's Northern catalog said free shipping on the cover as I was throwing all five of them in the trash. Not that I dislike Northern, they just send way too many catalogs way too often.
