Anyone got a pic of the correct mast, base and jack for my 1970 Bee? I think mine is right, but need to make sure. I don't see any identifying part numbers on anything but the hook (which is correct). How can you tell if the other parts are right? Also, what is the correct plating of the shaft?

Is the mast, base and jack the same for a 1970 Barracuda? I know the hooks are different.

What is the best rattle can paint for these? I read somewhere that Krylon Stone Gray is pretty close. Anyone have input on this?

Nick's page might help a little...

Thanks, I saw that... I'm just fishing for more info.

No problem, just thought it might have helped to start things off with.

Here is a 70 Super Bee set up....

picture #2...

and #3... Road Runner hook #103

mechanism date code...0B or Feb 1970

70 Bee's were built at 3 different assembly plants

Lynch Road = "T" style mast

St. Louis = Tube style mast

Los Angeles = ?

My Lynch Road '71 Charger has the T shape. My '70 SL Road Runner has the tubular one but don't know if it's the original since I found that the hook is from a C-body.

Thanks for those pics. My SB is a St. Louis Car and that is the type of Mast I have. My jack has an Oct. '69 date on it and that seems right for my January '70 build.

The plating looks to have a slightly yellowish tint to it. Anyone know what type of plating this is? Where could I send it for replating?


How does the Road Runner jack shown compare with a 9/'69 Hamtramck Barracuda?

Since its sort of on-topic, I'll hijack my own thread and ask about spare tires/wheels...

My car is a VERY bare bones 383 bench seat 4 speed car with pretty much no options. I am assuming it came with 14" steel wheels. Would that mean the car had a 14" spare too, and if so, what kind of date codes and tire should I look for? If the car is Fe5 Red, would the wheels and spare wheel also have been red, or would the spare have been semi gloss black? I am clueless when it comes to these trunk accessories...

If the car had body color steel wheels the spare would be the same color wheel and tire combo. This way you could rotate the tires and include the spare. If the car had optional styled wheels the spare would be a plain black steel wheel in the same size and same tire. Wasn't meant to be included in the rotation of the tires.

1970 cars with dog dish caps had body color wheels except for Challenger T/As.
