Here is a link to the item I was looking for, turns out I found
directions to on a Sunbeam Alpine list they where discussing it in 1999.

There was also the below discussion on a book that shows how to make
your own.
> If you have welding equipment, you can build your own pretty cheaply.
> See Tom Brownell's book HOW TO RESTORE YOUR COLLECTOR CAR. $20 from
> Classic Autobooks or your local bookstore.
>
> There is an excellent book out which covers all aspects of auto restoration
> including the fabrication of an inexpensive frame tilter which uses five
> discarded rims - four mounted to the car, one cut into half circles which are
> welded to the rims on the side of the car which is going to be on the ground.
> Two long levers/stabilizers are then welded onto these half rims. On the
> other side of the car( the side in the air) a length of angle Iron is welded
> between the two rims and a sling or hoist is affixed for additional safety.
> You will need a welder, or at least acces to one. The book is called "How
> to restore your collector car" by Tom Brownwell for $19.95 by Motor books
> International of Osceloa, Wisconsin 1-800-826-6600. (book No. 107702AP)
> This book is money well spent. It also covers inexpensive methods to
> remove rust and make your own parts cleaning/stripping tank with a cheapo
> cleaning solution.
>
> The frame tilter is set up for bolt on wheels, but the design can easily
> beadapted for wire wheels. If your chasis is really rotten and you are
> cutting out the sills, this might be a better design than the rotisserie
> design thats been mentioned, because it won't allow the car to bend or flex
> under its own weight. Chris Happy/Strange doesn't think this will be a
> problem though.
>
> I can fax you a copy of the relevant pages from the book if you need them.
> Let us know how you make out, I have the same road to travel and would be
> very interested in your project.
>
> Good luck.

It functions much like the above unit but is a little bulkier.
Thanks to all
