After having installed these, today marks the first I have nothing left to install in my rebuild, Pending stuff;). The seat cover has been on order 6-7 months under a covid economy.

Apparently I get my $1100 OER radiator tomorrow though. Yeah, $1100 for what I hope is solid, from USA Radiator. The last two are junk and came from different manufacturers.

Anyone able to find this decal? I found a "replacement" decal, but that's not it.

The 5th picture is how the tool bag spring should be mounted.

1. your decal shows a 4 headlight GMC, and the jack certainly looks odd. Mine is the common one that's available as a reproduction.
2. your lower floor spring latch is mounted backwards, compared to mine in a 72 C/10
3. your upper spring latch is identical to mine, with proper placement.

this all suggests, if you have a Chevy, the manufacture put the incorrect lable, or your cab was replaced, maybe?

I suppose you mean the jack instructions in the first pic. Can't say for sure, I only got the truck in 1989, though I can't say why the original owner would change the decal.

Come to think of it, the jack I pulled from the truck seems to match the decal;) I was informed it was the wrong jack. Hmm. Both replaced or factory?, hmm.



Seems the jack's bracket installs either way, my 72 is like yours. I found my 71 like what's pictured and it matches the assembly manual, pic. 5.

Cab wasn't replaced but interesting that decal and jack is for a GMC. Might the difference be my 71 :chevy: SWB 2WD was ordered with leaf springs, which came stock on GMC? But then, why would the jack be different for leaf springs?


For what worth here's the jack I removed from the truck, which matches the decal instructions. Not saying it's original, but I learned long ago what must be doesn't always apply. Other than that, I can't find those instructions anywhere.

Yes! that is one unusual looking jack, IMO. and it looks taller than what is typically OEM. Do you have a 4x4 perhaps? I had a 72 GMC 4x4 but that was in the 80's and cannot recall what it had.

I don't think you are going to find that jack decal anywhere unless you stumble on to an original one left over from a dealership or something. I reproduced the '67 only, Chevy jack instructions decal but it is different that that one.
