It is safer to use a scissors jack from a more modern car on the pinch weld. I have seen many original jacks allow the car to pitch forward and bend the jack and or the jack hole. Have also seen them tear the jack hole.

Great to have for a "preservation" and "originality" piece, but not much else. If this, I have one for you (just shipping). |

Thanks guys, yes I do recall (mid 80's) my '72 would/could get a little "tippy" with the original jack. I'll go with the scissor jack advice. I'd also like to have a bilstein strapped in there for trips down memory lane. I'll PM starbear.....thank you both.

I believe (?) it’s not a 73, but a late one, 75-76, as it has a single piece tongue and a painted, not chrome, cap. Has the green dot! PM me if you still want it.  |

What could be done? I’m thinking of some kind of a plate that would slide onto the bottom to make a more stable base.. then would come off for storage. Of course it still wouldn’t be ideal on a rusty car with weak jack points, but ok otherwise. Thoughts on a good design or in general? . |

Certainly a bigger base would help but only if secured to base to prevent shifting though with the height and attachment hole issue not sure if even attempting a design fix is safe. IMHO these jacks are solely for show and originality. AMHIK! |

You have to carry a set of chocks for the wheels still on the ground if you intend on using a OEM jack. Pray the flat occurs on a level surface.
