1970 Chevelle Jack Comparison
 

OK, all you Original 1970 Survivor "Kansas Built" Chevelle owners and "Atlanta Built" Chevelle owners.

Doing a Jack Comparison.... I believe I have a complete 1970 Chevelle "Kansas Built" Hollow Shaft Jack and a complete 1970 Chevelle "Atlanta Built" T-Shaft Jack, minus the repop Wing Nut and repop Hook.

I spoke with Rick Nelson today, Rick said he has never seen a T-Shaft Jack in a "Kansas Built" 1970 Chevelle. I believe this to be true.

Question: Are all the "Atlanta Built" 1970 Chevelle`s assembled with a T-Shaft Jack?

Please look at the pictures below.

I will add that I have never seen a "T" type jack in a Kansas car but this does not mean than none came that way.

Here are some more photos of an unrestored original Kansas jack.

For color comparisons sake, here is the mast from a very low mileage 70 Malibu previously owned by Chad B.

Rick,

Great stuff! Hopefully more original 1970 Chevelle owners will chime in and post pics & comments.

Please add the measurements too....
Please specify where your car was built....
