I am reasonably certain all C3 jacks were black. I've never seen a stock silver one. Where did you get your informaton about a silver color?

Alan,
Your posts are confusing. You seem to have some proper letter writing format, yet break so many rules of said format. That's not very NCRS of you.

Good advice. I will work towards that. However there are still a lot of odd colored, correctly dated jacks that came from somewhere and mine doesn't have a production code to trace. I'm just sayin'.
Thanks All

Don't know how serious you want to take this jack hunt but don't forget that the handle needs to be correct also. ie. 71 jack handles had 3 elongated holes in the handle whereas starting in 76 they were not. This ad is incorrect for 76-82 but look at the 4th pic.

The Spring 2013 ncrs restorer magazine has a 8 page spread on jacks and handles. If you would like a copy pm me.

Hi,
Another detail to pay attention to is the shape of the handle's end at the prong used to pry off the hub cap on a car with hub caps. (If that matters to you.)
Regards,
Alan
Original (71): It has one round hole and 2 elongated holes?
