1970 Chevelle Jack Comparison

[Postsedan]

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.

This is a "Kansas Built" Jack Assembly



The shaft measures 36.5 inches



Tire iron measures 18 inches





Wing nut measures at 5 inches



Hook measures at 6.5 inches



Base



Shaft was painted by someone, you can see the original Gold Zinc.



Patent number.

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.


Original hook.



Original base next to an inventory base. Notice slight difference.



Original mechanism.



Original wing nut over an AMK repop.



Comparison of masts all from 70 Chevelles.



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