An enterprising indivicual could even publish a pamphlet containing this information and I imagine it would be a best seller! Beamer Chat Region Member 2017 GMC Canyon

I'm still stuck on Quote is a Maple tree spinner seed Interesting that this '41 universal head looks the same as the above. Last edited by ruscar; 07/02/15 04:06 PM.

When viewed side-by-side it is clear they are different. The up-right is near the top on Gene's. More midway on Bruce's. However they both have the up-right arm that I believe comes up behind the bumper and lift on the support. It seems the '41 folks don't want to partake as I ask them for pictures but no replies so far. Guess Charlie is still stewing over the nasty remark I made about the '41 bumpers. Forgive me Charlie? So, once again, if Gene's is a '41 chevy, what is the other? Russell #38868 '48 4 door Fleetline

This jack stuff has been going on for years but few solid answers. Also got a little jack thing up in the '37-'42. Hey, you need one more post, 3000 Last edited by ruscar; 07/08/15 09:02 PM.
