Picts of a 66 jack

[sfm5s081]

Hey SAAC, i've got a thread on the 65 board about the jack. Does anyone have a pic they can post. Just trying to determine if the 1966 jacks were the same as the 1965

Yes 65/66 SJ jacks are the same. The typical SJ jack has the screw threading through a "U" shaped triunion. The typical Dearborn /Metuchen jack has the screw threading through a steel block looking triunion. I tried to post pictures but I got error message saying "The upload folder is full. Please try a smaller file and/or contact an administrator." I tried a smaller file with no better results. maybe someone else will have better luck. I posted to my gallery http://www.saacforum.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=4356  .You can toggle back and forth to see other jack pictures.

Hi Bob,

Another giveaway is the 65-66 jacks are shorter when compared to later versions when full extended.  The 65-66 is 16 inches tall when fully extended.  The second generations 67 to end of 70 was 17.5 inches tall.  See article "Ford Mustang Jacks" by Marcus Anghel and Bruce Klier, dated January 2013.  It is a PDF.  There are great images showing the many difference.

I was focusing on the details between the 65/66 family of jacks . I wrongly assumed everyone knew the difference in length and should have included that detail.
