Default What's the difference....

Between the spare tire jack from:

Zip #TR-40 for $339.95
Wilcox #0127 for $179.99

What am I missing?

I have a 76 vette.

Thanks,
Mike

Not sure ......but I'd check out the swap ads for parted out cars , Of eBay , people parting out cars etc.

If you just need a corvette jack ...I wait find someone selling cheap original ......clean it up .. Put a little paint on it ,call it good

I think I paid 118.00 on eBay for a date matching jack for my car. Wiped it down with WD 40 .....little grease , good to go.

Don't pay a crazy amount ....one will turn up,

Why not post links to the two jacks?

...What am I missing?...
A jack? I'm guessing the ZIP item might include a correct date code.
