Jack placement

[David Shifflett]

I have a 1979 Chevy Silverado. All original, need to know about the jack mounting under the hood, also would like to know if anyone knows where I can get a jack, mounting hardware.

On mine, the jack sits atop the driver side inner fender. It's held in place by a clamp and wingnut, and the base of the jack sits in a plastic tray. The crank and the tire iron sit on top of the passenger inner fender, and they're held down by a clamp and wingnut. I may still have the tray for the jack, but I'll have to check. I highly doubt I have any of the other hardware, and I don't have a jack. I'd check junkyards Here's a picture of the setup.

forget the years I got the pics from, but these and mine are on the passenger side.

I've got a different bottle jack now, but it's mounted to the passenger wheel well in the stock location with the tire iron and jack crank bolted to the passenger inner fender.

Thanks for the info in this thread and pics, I was able to install the Jack and everything else that was shoved behind the seat. Nice to have it in its spot!

I am pretty certain your '79 is going to be different from my '87:
