I was looking for a replacement jack for my 68 convert, since the PO removed it. I did not want to pay the $$$$$$$$ required for a replacement or even the slightly less $$$$$$ for a fake replacement, so while looking online I found this clever scissors jack that can be stored in the dish of the spare tire, instead of the compartment in the car. Need all the storage possible in the car. Almost bought it at $40, until I saw that shipping was $20.50. Got a WW2 surplus jeep jack for less money that I can store in the same place, using a cut-out bottom of a plastic bucket. Here is the expensive one sold on Amazon for those of you with money to burn.

interesting item but the weight limit is unknown

 

I saw the P/N on the jack itself(13500018) and cross-referenced it to a GM part: http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/231303217659?item=231303217659&lgeo=1&vectorid=229466&rmvSB=true
Looks like it's for a Cadillac CTS, which is a fairly hefty car.

 

Close up of the top shows "Made in South Africa" stamped into the steel. It looks like a near-clone of the army type 1 jack for jeeps. Years ago, every K-Mart and WalMart had the army type jacks for sale in their automotive dept. I had one and it was indestructible. Now all that is there are cheap, thin steel Chinese scissors jacks that are prone to bending under load. I do like the idea of storing inside the spare tire- saves space in the car.

 

Mine is from a '94 Saturn SL1, it works..

 

Mine is a ACDelco 4000 lb. from O'Reilly. Didn't cost that much. It is short enough to fit inside the spare tire rim. Looks heavy duty.

 

I use a cell phone and triple A card.
