Re: 67 Jack Handle
How soon we forget, was it not just last week that we had the GM print for the 1966 Corvette ONLY jack handle placed on this very forum???
The answer is was yes - and a month prior we had the earlier 63 64 jack handle print here too that showed they had no holes.
Sorry Joe - take at look back at those two threads, one from last week and one from early Feb.
You start in design, you make a print, you make a part and it goes to an assembly plant. The prints for these handles were posted on this forum and show clearly - for Corvette only what eh handle configuration is.
Scott - its probably measurement error, interpreting where to take the measurement that's given you the difference.
Nice we could see that at some time there was a survey, but even by 1985 half of those cars could have had something placed in them that was not original. Sorry, just a real fact of life, these cars were dime a dozen in the 70's, remember how cheap they were??? Many were already into a body-off by 1980 and by now probably need another body if if they were used at all. What happened to the jacks? Weren't most pulled out and loaned to the "fond on the road dead's"???
So by the 80's many of them lost their original jack. Its the value of guys that have had these cars since new and or the 70's that helps to establish credible data.
So I just had to go look at the print> 1-25-63 ...3858953 is released to production, one hole, and the head that is in question dimension .62".
Bottom line is that if GM hadn't even though of the idea to add the other holes, how on earth do you think could be original to that year?
Next - there was ONE supplier - not on earth is any big OE going to source such a small volume to two different suppliers.
The O...as per Dave's research and study...I bet if you call that supplier you just might find someone that was around back then and they will tell you the entire story...
