From left to right I bring you - the '70 Norwood jack, the '71-'72 Norwood "Y" style jack, and the '70-'71 Van Nuys jack. The '70 Norwood base is stamped U70 and you can see the date code on the Norwood '70 mechanism on the rivit. These are in their original paint and rust. Hope this helps.
Have several jacks of the style 68bird400HO refers to as the "70 Norwood jack"
-their mechanism is painted BLACK, & the square jack tubes are 34" long.

Trying to confirm this style jack as '73 Norwood build jacks.
The three in this first load of bumper jacks all date '73 Firebirds. Have one '73 as a project, & have parted quite a few more.
