Correct bumper jack for a Superbird?

[Hoser2455]

Does anyone know what is the correct bumper jack for a Superbird?  Did they come with both the "T" style and the other square style?  I seen both on some different cars.  I know the jack hook is a 2931103 but what is the other # below the 2931103.  Also, how do you tell when your jack was made by the numbers on it?  Is there also a way to tell the date of the support brace? Thanks.

Never saw anything but the "T" style in the bird.

All Superbirds have the "T" style bumper jacks. The base, hook and the mechanism is gray in color, the shaft is dull aluminum.
There is a date code by the "up/down" lever. My Superbird has a date code of J 9  witch translates to Sept. of '69.

That is good news because I have a "T" style jack, I will have to check for the J9 code.  I have noticed that there are two different 1103 hooks.  One of the hooks # will be a 2931103 with all of them numbers together.  The number under these hooks is 93153.  The other hook that I have seen out there is a 2931 103.  It has a small space typed in between both the ones.  These types of hooks have the number 10961 under the top # 2931 103.  Which hook is correct for the Superbird or are they both correct?  The other question I have about the jack hooks I seen at shows they appear to be a dull gray.  When painting one is there a correct paint to use or does most people just use gray primer?  Thanks, Jeff.

The five digit number is the vendor code, so the two hooks you saw were supplied to Chrysler by different vendors.


Some jack mechanism date codes are in the body & some are in the end of one of the rivets.

So I have a "November '69" jack...worth anything? Would it be correct for a 'Bird? Still wanna trade for the "D" style

Nov. 1969 is during the 1970 model year.

It should be a 'popular' date to any potential traders.
