Check out the factory jack I found
I got it off a '70 K20 at the yard today for $5.79. It was still in its factory mount between the seatbelt and the gas tank on the passenger side. I took both the jack and the mount. When I got back to my truck, it still has the factory mount. I still need to find a crank.
I think I'll clean this up and paint it black ![]() Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Check out the factory jack I found
It looks pretty decent, did you get the handle?

Re: Check out the factory jack I found
Very nice, I will also keep my eyes out for a handle for you.
Do I want to think about how many of those exact jacks and handles I pitched in a scrap pile in my life, NO. It is a sad thought. Although, I do enjoy the challenge of finding these parts. Good find. |

Re: Check out the factory jack I found
Now all you need is a crank assembly, lug wrench and bag. Good score!

Remember that rusty K20 you and I saw at the second yard we went to? That's the truck I got it out of. Same truck I got my grille from. I've passed this jack by for over a month. Didn't even notice it I also scored 3 sets of original seat belts out of it that are in excellent shape. I soaked them in a bucket of detergent and got them all cleaned up. They're a dark green, and should paint up well with the fabric paint I've got so they match my interior Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Check out the factory jack I found
Here's the jack, after I cleaned it up, primered it with two coats, and painted it with 4 coats of semi gloss Rustoleum

Re: Check out the factory jack I found
I think I have the crank from mine. I don't want/need it. If you want to pick up shipping, you can have it. I'm at work now, but I can look and take a pic in the morning, if you're interested.

Re: Check out the factory jack I found
#1 How do you find all these parts?
#2 How do you have time to find all of these parts? #3 How do you find parts for these prices? That the heck? Living in Los Angeles sucks! LOL |

Re: Check out the factory jack I found
Try living in the Southern Louisiana swamp land. I've found four of our trucks in junkyards in a year and they were all rusted out. Meanwhile mine is rusting away before my eyes.

1. I just look around, even when I don't always know what I'm looking for. Stuff will jump out at me 2. The yard I bought that piece from is 10 minutes from work. I went on a lunch break. I also like going on the weekends. It's really fun 3. I don't know why they are so inexpensive here. A mirror from a 92 Beretta is the same price as a 69 classic truck, for example. All the parts are the same price. They have no clue what they've got. In fact, sometimes I'll just ask "how much for this old jack? (For example, which I did today), and even though newer generic jacks were in a pile for $10, I got it for $5 and some change for asking. Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Check out the factory jack I found
<~~~~Jealous
I went to 3 yards to find a female side to a seat belt. Then when I went to pay....the fella says $20. I may have gotten a better deal if I spoke Spanish. Who knows. I just try to avoid the yards here. Nothing in them older than 1988 anyways. |

1) I know how much you love junkyarding, and 2) You also seem to enjoy the challenge of the hunt for parts. Especially the rare ones. ![]() I am also lucky to have a great junkyard near me that got 12 of these trucks in a couple years ago. I got 3 truck tilts, a van tilt and a couple Am/FMs, a set of shoulder belts and a bunch of other stuff for next to nothing. I love going there! |

One tip: I noticed today that some of the square body chevy trucks use the same exact seat belts as our trucks. Posted via Mobile Device |
