but you could've at least spelled it right. it's "chock" as in wheel chock, to chock a wheel to keep it from moving. and regardless of the wheel chock used, you should also set your parking brake and/or leave it in park or a low gear (1 or 2) for a manual.
i have used any number of things in a pinch. i like big, round things to put under the wheel after it's left the ground. like a spare tire with a steel rim in it. the bigger the base of the 'jackstand', the better. those 6-ton stands are way overboard, but the height of them might come in handy. i'd like a set, but i be broke.
