I claim: 1. A multi-position creeper, comprising: a frame including a first support frame, a second support frame pivotally connected to the first support frame, and a third support frame coupled to the second support frame; wheels attached to the underside of the frame; wherein the frame is movable into a plurality of configurations including: a supine configuration in which the first, second and third support frames remain substantially horizontal and in a common plane with respect to each other; an inclined seating configuration in which the first support frame remains substantially horizontal, and the second and third support frames remain substantially in a common plane and are placed at an angle of incline with respect to the first support frame; an upright seating configuration in which the first support frame remains substantially horizontal, the second support frame is placed at an angle of incline with respect to the first support frame, and the third support frame remains substantially horizontal and at an angle of incline with respect to the second support frame; and a coupling assembly which allows the second and third support frames to be held in at least two different positions with respect to each other; wherein the third support frame is removable from the coupling assembly to move the third support frame between the inclined seating configuration and the upright seating configuration. 2. The multi-position creeper of claim 1, wherein the second and third support frames can be set to a plurality of angle of incline with respect to the first support frame when the frame is placed in the inclined seating configuration. 3. The multi-position creeper of claim 1, wherein the second and third support frames are lockable with respect to each other when the frame is placed in the inclined seating configuration and upright seating configuration. 4. The multi-position creeper of claim 1, wherein the third support frame is removably coupled to the second support member. 5. The creeper of claim 1, wherein the first and second support frames can be positioned to a plurality of angle of incline with respect to each other. 6. The multi-position creeper of claim 1, including a locking mechanism associated with the first and second support frames which holds and locks the second and third support frames in the inclined seating configuration. 7. The multi-position creeper of claim 6, wherein the locking mechanism allows the first and second support frames to be held at different angles of incline with respect to each other when the frame is in the inclined seating configuration. 8. The multi-position creeper of claim 1, wherein the wheels are attached to the first support frame and third support frame but not the second support frame. 9. The multi-position creeper of claim 8, wherein the wheels attached to the third support frame remain in a downward position when the frame is placed in the upright seating configuration. 10. A multi-position creeper, comprising: a frame including a first support frame, a second support frame pivotally connected to the first support frame and movable to a plurality of angular positions with respect to the first support frame, and a third support frame coupled to the second support frame and movable to a plurality of locked positions with respect to the second support frame; a plurality of wheels attached to the underside of the frame; the frame being movable into a plurality of configurations including: a supine configuration in which the first, second and third support frames remain substantially horizontal and in a common plane with respect to each other; an inclined seating configuration in which the first support frame remains substantially horizontal, and the second and third support frames remain substantially in a common plane and are placed at an incline with respect to the first support frame; and an upright seating configuration in which the first support frame remains substantially horizontal, the second support frame is placed at an incline with respect to the first support frame, and the third support frame remains substantially horizontal and is at an incline with respect to the second support frame; and a mechanism for locking the first support frame in one of the angular positions with the second support frame, the mechanism including a plate having a plurality of staggered openings extending there through and a locking pin which is extendable into the openings; wherein the third support frames includes a plurality of engaging members and the second support frame includes a plurality of sleeves forming receiving openings, each receiving opening adapted to receive one engaging member. 11. The multi-position creeper of claim 10, wherein the plate is attached to the second support frame and the locking pin extends through an opening in the first support frame. 12. A multi-position creeper, comprising: a frame including a first support frame, a second support frame pivotally connected to the first support frame and movable to a plurality of angular positions with respect to the first support frame, and a third support frame coupled to the second support frame and movable to a plurality of locked positions with respect to the second support frame; a plurality of wheels attached to the underside of the frame; wherein the frame is movable into a plurality of configurations including: a supine configuration in which the first, second and third support frames remain substantially horizontal and in a common plane with respect to each other; an inclined seating configuration in which the first support frame remains substantially horizontal, and the second and third support frames remain substantially in a common plane and are placed at an incline with respect to the first support frame; and an upright seating configuration in which the first support frame remains substantially horizontal, the second support frame being placed at an angle of incline with respect to the first support frame, and the third support frame remains substantially horizontal and at an angle of incline with respect to the second support frame; wherein the third support frame is removable from the second support frame to move the third support frame between locked positions. 13. The multi-position creeper of claim 12, wherein the third support frame is disposed over the first support frame when the frame is in the upright seating position. 14. The multi-position creeper of claim 12, wherein the third support frames includes a pair of outwardly projecting ends and the second support frame includes a plurality of sleeves forming receiving openings, each receiving opening adapted to receive one of the outwardly projecting ends of the third support frame. 15. The multi-position creeper of claim 12, wherein the second and third support frames are movable between a plurality of angles of incline with respect to the first support frame when the frame is placed in the inclined seating configuration. 16. The multi-position creeper of claim 12, farther including a mechanism for locking the first support frame in one of the angular positions with the second support frame.
