Anyone ever came accross one of these? I saw it mounted in the back of a Camaro in the spare wheel well with the tire still installed.

It works just like a regular floor jack, minus the wheels.

Here's a pic...looks alot safer than the regualr factory siccor(sp?) style jacks?

 

Looks like every other factory thirdgen jack I've seen.

 

Seen many of them.I dont know why some cars got those and some go the scissor type though.

 

Here's the two different styles. I've never seen the floor jack style...and now that I have one....I am somewhat considering actually keeping a jack and spare in the car now.....just maybe though.

But seriously, this floor jack and lug nut wrench is a much better design than the others.

 

Thats the style of jack that came in '82-86 F-bodies. In '87 GM switched to that cheapie sissor jack.

 

That 82-86 jack is no prize, iether. Have you ever used it? It s*cks.

 

I had one of those "floor Jacks" and it would only go so high. I got a Flat in my 83 Riv, and I could not get the jack high enough to change the tire. The screw ones are a little more clumsy, but In my opionion they are (slightly) safer and they work better, never had a problem with one of those.

my car didnt have a jack when i bought it, so i picked up one of those floor jack style ones a swap meet, didnt like it, so i picked up one of these

fits great in the bottom of the snap on tool box (which fits perfect in the well so it doesnt slide around) i got through a mountain dew promotion last year
