XA-XC had a ratchet type jack that hooked into the slot in the front or rear bumpers. they were 3 piece, the flat base plate, the vertical shaft and the ratchet mechanism. (oh and the handle was the wheel brace from memory). looked like a big elaborate VW one.

Well I'll ask the question differently..🙂🙂

What Fords didn't have a bumper jack???



My XP had one....

Maybe they all did... as they all had the BIG Bumpers back then....
the bumpers started to get smaller with the XC I think....

and turned into plastic for the XD..... 🙂🙂

How are You Neil??

You certainly want to know a lot 🙂🙂

I think all the Falcons/Fairlanes up to XC had bumper jacks and some late Commodores had similar jacks (not bumper) using the same mechanisim and notched tube. I used a late mechanisim on an early tube to make a highlift jack for my Baja and it worked quite well.
