Originality / Re: 68 bumper jack

« on: February 08, 2023, 10:34:08 PM »

Looking for a Walker Jack for a 1968 Camaro built at Van Nuys. According to the Legends Restoration guides Universal also provided Jacks but only on early production cars. My car is built April 13 1968 so a date of Feb-Mar would be ideal.

In looking through the legends Judging guide I am posting a picture of a Walker Jack Base. Note it’s a square shaft type base.
Based on the info I gathered there were several manufactures of Jacks, Walker, Universal and Ryerson Hayes (RH).
RH jacks were common in Norwood built cars and Walker were used in LOS or Van Nuys built cars with RH used in early 1968 production.

Would like some help here to see if I am on target with the hunt.

Anyone with a Jan-June built 68 Camaro, please identify what style of Jack you have if you know it’s original. Let me know your Plant and build date too if possible.
