Default Re: Lug wrench, jack color survey Camaro, Chevelle

The original jacks in my Norwood June-built 1967 Z28's both had silver colored masts.

No doubt in my little mind that they were original -- one of the cars was a survivor and used by MacNeish as a reference car. The other project car's mast has a date stamped in it, '5 21 67', about three weeks before the car build so I'm pretty sure that's the original mast too.

For resto, I silver cad plated the mast to match. It's perfect.

Then I brought the 'survivor' jack (sorry, ncrs) into the paint store and they mixed up two batches of gray to match because I'm pretty sure there were two colors of gray used, one for the underside of the base and a lighter (?) color on the topside.

I forget if the ratcheting ass'y is the lighter or darker shade.

Sorry for the rambling, it's early for me and still less than a cup of coffee to get me going.

Handles were black.
