Can someone give me the specs on the tire iron so I can try and hunt down a replacement. I know the correct hook brings big $$$ so I will stick with what I have for now. Something to hunt for in the future. 2016 Diesel Ram 3500 Mason Dump 1971 Challenger 2013 Jeep Wrangler 1979 Dodge Ram Power Wagon 400 Mini Pumper My other car is a Fire Truck.

Perhaps I did not look close enough at mine and it is just in the assembled form 2016 Diesel Ram 3500 Mason Dump 1971 Challenger 2013 Jeep Wrangler 1979 Dodge Ram Power Wagon 400 Mini Pumper My other car is a Fire Truck.

I've got an early build 71 Challenger and the jack is tube, I'm the second owner for the last 33 years, very original car when I bought it... But that's not to say a T jack is incorrect, as we all know how production changes were made, stock shortage/overruns, etc...dealer changes, skies the limit to senarios Mike

It would satisfy me just to get a tire iron and keep the jack I have with the car, anyone know a source to purchase one that could pass for stock appearing?

Also take a look at the rivit on the part the the hook was take off of and see what information in on that rivit. It will tell you the Year and month the jack post was made. There were tube and T Type jack posts in 1971 E Bodies. I believe that the post in 35 inches long. Post a picture of the base and I or someone else will tell you if it is for an E Body. Post a picture of all the parts and someone will tell you if all parts are for an E Body. 1971 HEMI E BODY REGISTRY

All the other chain stores just have the 4 ways. On another note, got a call today that the headliner was in and the seats will be back Friday. The car will be ready to be picked up next Saturday. Now the hard part, I need to empty a garage. 2016 Diesel Ram 3500 Mason Dump 1971 Challenger 2013 Jeep Wrangler 1979 Dodge Ram Power Wagon 400 Mini Pumper My other car is a Fire Truck.
