oh!
Thanks!! I did get a black jack mechanism, and assumed that that one was matched to the black painted (and decal-ed) attachment for the 79-81 front end. I'll re-look at this...

-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.

The jack mechanisms in my early '80, as well as my parents early '80 & their '79 (Norwalk build) were all painted a corporate blue. The base in both of the '80's was corporate blue.

Lots , probably 15,000, of left over 1972 Jacks for F bodies at sub assembly in the beginning of the '73 production. Just something to consider, these would not get wasted.

Here is the other jack, which I assumed to be two matching pieces (they fit and appear to function properly together).

'79 jack, at least an early one.
What's the date code on the rivet?

I could not find one, or anything that might resemble a date code.

The earliest of the square tube/black finished F-body jacks I have is dated M2. Jack out of my '73 BG project is the same style, assembled in May '73, jack is dated C3

The jack mast is how long on the jack in question? Bottom 2 inches are trapezoidal in shape? With the jack mechanism flipped with the handle attachment area to the left & hook to the right, is there a letter stamping above the two holes stamped in the side of the stamped mechanism?

Just adding a picture of the jack in my '73 Formula. Mast is approx. 34-1/4" long. Rivet date is 3G. Base is black (stamped U) and handle is gray. Long sleeve.
