1974 Charger: What does a OEM Jack assembly look like?

[74ChargerSE440]

I am looking for a OEM jack assembly for a 74 Charger, but what does a correct jack for a 74 charger look like? Are there partno's? Is it grey or black or can it be both?

This looks right.

Thanks! So, the parts are all black and NOT any of them is grey as in the picture below? The stand is also NOT copper colored originally? Or are there quit a few color combinations? Are there any no's or marks on the components itself? To what model year or what car line does the jack assembly in the picture below belong to? Thanks again!

The units I have seen for 1974 through 1977 are black. My 1975, 1976 and 1977 B-body jacks are black as is my 1967 B-body. Our 1971 GTX is black with a green hook. My 1970 A-body, 1970 Charger, and 1972 B-body jacks are grey as are my 1970 E-bodies (but those use the silver T-shaped solid jack bar). Different production runs or suppliers might differ in color though. 1971 and earlier did not use the finger jacks for slotted bumpers. In 1978, Chrysler began switching to scissors jacks.

There are no part numbers on the finger jack parts, but there can be manufacturing stampings and the base usually has the caution decal. Your pictured jack could be OEM for 1974, but it does appear to have been repainted. The jack bar also appears to have been recoated or tinted.

The original tubular jack bar is cadmium or irridite plated (a goldish color with hints of green and orange). The jack bar is faded and corroded on my pictured jack, but the plating is still present. This particular jack I pictured is from a 1974 New Yorker which is a similar finger jack to the B-body.

My original 1973 A-body jack shown here is grey and the cadmium/irridite jack bar can be seen better.
