1970 T/A jacks
2 Attachment(s)
I have looked in the assembly book and it clearly shows 3 different styles of bumper jacks. I am not 100% positive on the correct ones, i am posting 2 different styles that are from 70 model yr.
The light blue one is from a Norwood t/a with ralley spare The dark blue is from a van nuys. I'm not sure if its correct for a space saver or full size. I ask because i have 2 70 Van Nuys built cars here, 1 with a full size spare and one with a space saver, and they both had the dark blue style in the trunk. Whats correct ?? And does anyone have a picture of the 3rd style ? If it does exsist ?? |
I can tell you with a high level of certainty that the lighter blue one is what my '73 Rally T/A uses.

i guess the "Y" style is the other type of jack.
but, I see no discussion of the "type" of spare tires that came with these jacks ? |
Spares....
Trans ams had 15 x 7" Rally's with F60 x 15 RWL Goodyears.....
MOST Formula 400's came with 14 x 7 steelies OR Rally II's with F70 x 14 RWL Goodyears....... Esprit's & base birds came with E78 x 14 dual stripe whitewalls... UNLESS a stowaway spare was ordered... |

ok, thanks. But, which jack is correct for the spare tires ??
Here are attatched pics from the assembly books. Look how the base's have the part number of the what i assume to be the jack next to them. In the 70 book they match up with the jack numbers, but after 70 they don't match what the jack numbers are. |

I don't think they had a diff jack for spacesaver... The LS1 van nuys here, has it's orig spacesaver. The jack I got for it in cali, is the dark blue one you pictured.
If they used 2 diff jacks for van nuys cars, please let me know... thnx Quote:

71 TA
It has a full size spare, & dark blue jack, looks close to our 70.
|
ok, thanks.

How long should the jack posts be for each style of 70 jack? I assume Camaros used the same but for an extra hook. The Camaro guys say the jacks were 32 1/2" until around June of 70, then went to 34 1/4

3rd week july 70 Norwood.......mine has a "Y" in the trunk
|
van nuys jack
Does anyone here have a spare 71 van nuys jack set up... thnx
|
71's used the silver painted "Y" style shaft,1970 VN's used the silver cadmium plated square shaft and the 1970 Norwood cars used the gold cadmium plated almost a teardrop shape shaft. ALL 3 used different shades of blue and the VN lug wrenches have a "W" on them and have a noticeable different bend on the handle. The 71 lug wrenches I have seen are painted grey while 70 VN or N seem to be painted blue.

Thats why said my 70 has a "Y" in the trunk...I don't know if it was put in there in Norwood Ohio or Evergreen park Illlinois. But I do know it was in there in 1975 along with the original spare. LOL

Craig.. who knows.. we now know anything I say is maliciously planted as false info.. So if I said Norwood plant cars had the gold plated jack and yours has the Y, well that is proof again I am full of sh!t..Ask 68 bird, he surely knows the answers..
Oh.. and my disclosure: I do not mean to offend anyone personally or professionally, This is my opinion only, I do not know anything about cars(actually I drive a moped) and.... of yea.. did I say I know nothing about Firebirds, nothing at all .. Craig, you know this is not directed at you. you have a thick skin and have known for a long time I am full of sh!t :) |
