Someone visiting my air cleaner identification page asked me if I'd thought about doing one for jack hooks. Is there an existing resource out there already?

I do see a lot of questions posted on the forum about jack parts. I'm willing to put a page together if I could gather enough information.

What do you think?

Is that a visual guide or just a list of part numbers?

What is known about the jacks themselves? For instance which cars got tubular jack posts vs. solid ones? There is a discussion about this for '71 Plymouths where it seems both were used. Was this an assembly plant thing or production date based?

What else would be useful?

if ya had pictues of the jacks/hooks, applications and part numbers on them, that's all you would need.

Well if people want to start posting what they have, I'll put the page together. Posting them here will open up discussion if there are discrepencies since I'm no expert on these things.

If someone has a list of jack hook numbers and applications they could send me, I could start off with that.

I've added a lot more pictures to the page but there are still a lot of holes.

I'm also curious about '67-69 Barracuda jacks. I thought they all came with the hook as part of the jack but I've seen a few cars with a removable hook, at least the jack doesn't have a hook. My '68 is this way but I don't know where the hook is. If you have one of these cars with a removeable hook, I'd like to see it and get the number off the hook.

Thanks, Nick.

Nick 67-9 Barracuda jacks are platform jacks like a 68-70 Charger except they are smaller. They have a shorter mast and a smaller platform. No hooks......

I'm sure you're right. My '68 parts book shows it that way. I probably just have the wrong jack in my car. I've never taken it out since 1986. I already found that my '70 Road Runner has a c-body jack hook in it.
