Does anyone out there have an Original bumper jack that came with the 49 Plymouth that you could take a picture of it and send me the picture?. I have a friend who is looking for one, but wants to make sure its the correct one for his 49. Thanks Ping
I don't have a photo but i recall what the jacks looked like.Stamped steel foot, a rachetted post about 2 1/2' long -looks like a steel T bar fence post and a stamped jacking mechanism with a handle that looks like a crowbar that also had a built in socket for wheel bolts. Barely adequate for a bumper jack
Ping, is this for a 1st series P15 Model 1949 or a 2nd series P17-P18 Model 1949? I would suspect they are the same but don't know that to be the case for sure. I have photos from a P17-P18 version.
I have the one that came in my car. I'll see if I can dig up a camera. It sorta looks like the jack that came with my mom's old dodge ram van. Oddly I don't seem to have a fixture in my bumper to hook it on. I just use a screw jack with a long handle.
I finally found one on ebay if you still want one. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1949-50-51-52-53-54-55-56-FORD-CHEVORLET-PLYMOUTH-JACK_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ10076QQihZ017QQitemZ270237214471QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW
My has a round tube, not triangular, much stronger than th e-bay variety, and has a cast havy duty lifting assembly.
Dont?t know if it is original..
