69 Gto jack
Is there anyone with a for sure original jack for a 69 Gto? I'm trying to determine if the one I have is one or close. I have an original jack for my 68 Lemans and it has the date code on the jack stem near one end of "8 B" which I read as Feb 68. The car was build March of 68. I also have a jack out of a 69 Executive (big car) which also has the date on the jack stem that corresponds with when it was built. It however is over 3 inches longer, obviously for the larger car. It's also has black components as opposed to the blue one for the A bodies. I was given a jack by my good friend Dennis (gto4evr) and it is the same length as my 68 jack, but the components are a little different. It has a date code on one of the rivets on the jack mechanism of "9C" which I would guess is March 69, no? I've read a past post where someone mentioned a date code being on a rivet as well. Before I go to the trouble of cleaning this one up and replating it, I'd like to know if it's truly for a 69 A body. Here is few pictures. The 68 jack is on the right of the picture with the two of them. Thanks for any help. Jeff
