One word of advice, supporting the car front and rear on the suspension cradle alone is not a good idea because the support base is too narrow. It is better to support the car at the shipping lock locations, either both front and rear or front or rear.
I made my own cross beams for my Costco jack using 2x4 steel tubing, then would use jack stands under the tubing. Doing this front and rear doesn't give a wide enough base for support.

Yep, some use hockey pucks, others use professionally manufactured ones, mine are aluminum and mounted in the shipping locks so I won't have to make sure the dealer or whomever doesn't screw up and break my rocker panels.

I had the body off of my 69 and it has a full length boxed frame. All Corvettes have a full frame. The difference is the manufacturing process that allows the newer frames to be stiffer than previous generations.
