Default Boatanchor work stand?

An old TV shop might still have one of the stands they used for the
old tube type color TV's. They had a very heavy chassis and needed to
flip it around too. They were adjustable for width and clamped onto
the chassis on the sides.
Check out an old Allied Radio catalog to see what they looked like.

I can't be the only one this idea has occurred to. When rebuilding
automobile engine blocks, there is a stand that bolts to the back of the
engine block, you can turn and lock the block in any position, to make the
installation of parts much easier. Has anyone come up with such a device to
bolt to boatanchor chassis' that would make repair or restoration easier?
