1970 Cuda Bumper Jack and Trunk Question

I have two questions about my Cuda's trunk equipment.
1st is what type and color jack is correct for an original 11/69 production date cuda? Mine has been in the car since I bought it in 1978 and is a dove gray color and the post is plated box style metal. I have been seeing a solid metal type on ebay with black parts, is that correct or is the gray?
2nd what should be the color of the small plastic cap on an original space saver aluminum bottle? Sorry if these have already been asked but for some reason I get error messages when I try to search.


Thanks

I've seen all kinds of combos as far as color on the components between black and grey...And in 70 you could have either a solid or tube mast....Generally{for 70} grey is the dominant color...Even the early 70 tire irons I've had were grey...But never say never...First I'd check the date code on the jack mechanism and see what you've got....Here's a pic of an example of the date code for a solid mast.... 9F translates into 1969/June....This would be an early 70 e-body piece...Other units had the date code on the rivet so look around and see what you've got and go from there...

The cap should be yellow. IMO, it should be the T mast style thtat Colin has pictured above. I just posted on this a couple of pages back here in the the resto thread.
