Hi All,
So I have a late production 67 GT350 and was wondering
if anyone could post a photo of what the jack should look like? I have
researched it but am finding different looking jacks supposedly for a 67
Thanks for your time.

Dave ,the main difference is the triunion where the screw drive threads through is U shaped on the typical SJ jack where as it is a rectangular block of steel on the Dearborn/Metuchen jacks.

The metuchen jack is very similar to the sj jacks both using the 2  U shaped ends but metuchen was coarse threads shaft so u need fine thread shaft with the 2 U shaped ends .

Thanks guys for the reply and thank you Bob for the photo.
I have the correct handle but the completely wrong jack.
The one I have may be a 69-70? as it does not have the
hinged part on top of the scissor that flips over and contacts the jacking point.
a friend is checking his spare jacks and may have the one I need.
Again thanks for the shared knowledge .

Keep in mind that although some jacks are date stamped many do not . Maybe one out of a batch was dated coded would explain why so many are not date stamped.
