Can anyone tell me is a 1971 Ranchero bumper jack is the same as a car, and or wagon? Also is the 1970 the same? Thanks, David ------------- David |

I know that 70 and 71 are the same. I'm pretty sure cars are the same cause the front bumpers are the same. ------------- Eddie |

if you're planning to actually USE the finger tab bumper jack, you may want to think again? many bumpers get tweaked from so much force concentrated in a small area. if the bumper has been removed & re-installed from factory there's more of a chance that the brackets are not in the best position to take the weight, then the outer skin takes it ------------- 72 GT Ute |

Hadn't thought about that but you're probably right. My bumper jack stays in the shed. I keep a small floor jack behind the seat ------------- Eddie |

Thanks guys, I wasn't going to use it, it is for restoration purpose. I believe it should havea "J" type jack. Like this. David  ------------- David |

That's it. It should have front stamped on the bottom pin and rear on the top pin. Good luck on your restoration Would like to see pics! ------------- Eddie |
