C500

If any of you folks have the original C500 bumper jack with handle/lug wrench, please let me know which handle it's like out of these two.....I'm trying to identify which is the correct handle - assuming they are both from second gen chargers. I put a post here,link  but looking at the pics on the site from other threads, there's conflicting info
"An aggressive exterior with power to match was enough to pull in the performance boys-especially when abetted by a pair of pipes blaring out the back, and brawny red-sidewall rubber hitting the pavement."  

"........the four speed box changes cogs with the precision of a sharp axe striking soft pine."

I will see about getting the car far enough away from the wall to open up the trunk to measure my bumper jack handle for you. Unless someone beats me to it today. Got a football game to coach here in about an hour, and then I should be able to do it after that.

Up swing on handle 8 inches

Thanks downunder. do you also have a C500? Or is that the handle from your 70 you measured?

The longer one of my two is 8 inches. The shorter one came in my 68. I'm wondering if different year second gens had the different length handles.

Measure the handle in the 500 that I have here this morning and I'd say you should use the one with the longer handle. One in my 500 has an upswing of 8 1/8".

Hi KIWI, I am almost positive I have the original jack and handle in my C500 and the up-swing is about 8".

Good luck on the resto, it will be awesome when it's done.
