pa454aj Apr 15th, 08, 5:34 PM Ok So I Don't Have A Jack For the Car - and Now we are going On a Longer Than Normal Cruise. I Have Always Thought That If we Got A Flat I Would Just Call A Tow Truck and he would Certainly Have a Jack To Change a Flat Tire. But That Is Just Crazy - Where Can I Get A Good Jack For Our 1970 Chevelle No Not A Bumper Jack though RedSS454 Apr 15th, 08, 5:43 PM http://s7.sears.com/is/image/Sears/CRAFTSMAN Craftsman 2-1/4 ton Floor Jack Sears item# 00950524000 Mfr. model# 50524 $29.99 In stock Eligible For Store Pick Up (http://javascript<b></b>:;) $29.99 $39.99 Save $10.00 thru 04/19/08 Ship or Pick Up ?

The holes I am speaking of are the two in the front behind the tire at the bend in the frame and the two holes in front of the rear tire. It is a super jack, and jacks my 70 wagon up just fine. Its kinda like a scissors jack. It is like a horizontal bumper jack, with a scissors configuration. This is the jack to get, I am happy with mine and it is not large. I speak the truth, This is not a jack job It was $ 10.00 at a bone yard. with the lug wrench (metric I think) Bob ACES AACA:thumbsup: Keith Tedford Apr 15th, 08, 6:37 PM We have a jack kit in a plastic case. Floor jack, wheel chocks, and Light, all in a manageable case. The old bumper jacks were a recipe for disaster, especially on the side of the highway where the ground is usually uneven. Nor Cal Chevelle Apr 16th, 08, 6:18 AM Bob, how about a picture of the jack you have? SSuper Dave Apr 16th, 08, 8:40 AM The jack of which Bob speaks will usually be found in the trunk of any 80-85 'G' body car. Look for a Grand Prix, Monte Carlo, Regal or Cutlass. By appearance, they could have been made just for our cars. prefectca Apr 16th, 08, 9:40 AM Yes the later rear wheel drive jacks work well. It looks like a bumper jack laying on its side made into a floor jack. The lifting pad is made to fit into the round access hole for the body mount bolt. I believe that late model Caprice/Roadmaster use them as well. Big White Apr 16th, 08, 10:06 AM Bob, how about a picture of the jack you have?

Comes in a nice carrying case. 64elkynss Apr 16th, 08, 2:55 PM I have 2 of the Craftsman 30.00 jacks and work perfect for me. Not too big or heavy, nice case, and cheap enough. 64elkynss Robinls5 Apr 16th, 08, 9:03 PM It will be a few days WHY ? The hood of my camino is leaning on the back of my wagon. KANT get into the wagon just yet, This G.M. Jack was made for Chevelles. Bob:hurray: Big White Apr 18th, 08, 3:11 PM It will be a few days WHY ?

Bob:hurray: Hey, just send that hood to me and get it out of the way. It all comes under the heading of "spring clean-up". | ||
