1962 Jack and tools
Let me try again. Can someone post pictures of a 62 jack and tools with top and bottom plate and any stampings? Thanks!

John,
Here are pictures of an unrestored original '62 jack. I'll take some pictures of the tools later today.
Hope this helps.

Re: 1962 Jack and tools
If you have the Corvette Restorer CD, there is a past entire article with pictures of the 53-61 and 62 jacks, with descriptions of both. It wouldn't be a bad idea to check out what's already been done.Comment

Re: 1962 Jack and tools
Bill or anyone else with a 62. Can you give me the dimensions of the jacking tools such as the lug wrench and the jacking handle (as it is in the trunk holddown area and opened out of the car). JohnComment

Re: 1962 Jack and tools
John, attached are drawings for the jack tool and tire wrench. Believe these drawings were in effective through '62. Gary....

Dimensions may be spot on but the tang at the end of the jack handle was not spoon shaped for '62 as in the drawings but instead as shaped in my earlier posting. Same is true for the lug wrench where the drawing shows the hub cap removal end almost straight with the handle. In '62 it had a very pronounced bend at this point. Also see earlier jpg.
John, look for the raised letter "O" (Otterburn Manufacturing Co.) on the lug end of an original lug wrench. CC 's repro at least when last looked does not have the "O".
These drawings, at least from appearance, seem to be for '61 and prior.
Just to clarify.
