Default 68-70 Bumper Jack Length?

Fellas -

Trying to nail this down - I have 3 bumper jacks in my garage - one is the 68 style, the other two are the trapezoid mast 69 and later style. All are 36" long. I believe, but have not been able to confirm, that these are big car jacks because of the length.

Can anyone please measure their original jack masts and let me know the length?

Thanks!

Scott

How about one out of a 30,000 mile original...this is probably the first time its ever been out of the trunk for these pics, because the base has pefect paint like its never been used...68 of course..my 69 has a t post and all of my 70s have trapizoidal..its a plant thing, because there seems to be no rhyme or reason..ive found both over the years

Thanks, Mark. Just what I needed. Guess I have to post a for sale ad for 3 big car jacks and a wanted ad for a correct 68 jack mast

I'm actually looking for a t-post for my 68. I really just need the post/mast itself. I bought the jack and associated bits from a PY member; said it came out of a 68 A body, but it's 36" long.

I guess the easiest thing would be for me to grind a few inches off the post that I have. I would imagine that the 68 trapezoid and t post are the same length, but do you have a 68 A body t post that you could measure?

Thanks

Scott
