Jacking Points 1957-60 F100

About to replace all brake lines and wheel cylinders. I want to put my 1959 F100 on four jack stands and I was wondering where should they be placed and where should I place the floor jack to lift the truck.

The front axle is forged, so jack it up under the the middle of the front axle and place your stands under each end. Do the same with the rear axle.

Thank you! Really didn't want to crush or bend any part of the body.

DO NOT try to jack it up at the front bumper like I did when I was 16

pretty much anywhere on the axles or frame will be fine as long as its stable. the jacking points on the body are more of a unibody thing i think.
