I realize this may be way over the edge, but......
Have an OE jack....
Have had partial jack tools, just didn't realize....
Have since added the hand crank from camotubebender (not actual pic of. Stole from Mud)
So, two questions.
Is the missing tool on the seat the hand cranks location?
I think I know the answer to this, but I think too much.
Would a yellow jack and black tools be correct, as I suspect?
Or is it all yellow?
Hoping to blast and coat correct.
Just realized I'm still missing the jack handle.....always something.
Anyone have a jack handle for sale?

Radiator and both rear heaters pressure tested approved. Shop said there's no reason why this radiator won't perform as long as any aftermarket replacement and heavier built.
They painted, but considering it only a temporary measure to prohibit rust, but can't see a means to do more than paint, because I don't want to take it apart for the sake of PC or alternative.

yes, the three clips under seat are for hand crank.
my jack tools have always been yellow, all my cranks have been black

Thank you.
I need a hand crank then and the tool kit before getting too much more involved with prepping these.
Don't even want to ask the following and I do appreciate your patience. My GoogleFu results nothing on the second question.
First, is "yellow" yellow or is there a color code?
Spent an hour at paint store earlier with "T1434" and have no way of knowing if it's 100% match.
Second, where does this "hand crank" store?

i have seen black jacks, yellow jacks and brown jacks ... i do believe your vintage is yellow, kind of a off yellow, more of a mustard than bright yellow ...

Yeah, I feel pretty stupid after seeing the pic. Was trying to visualize the jack hand crank in there, too.
Thanks again.
What it did look like....
What it looks like now....
Realize it's stupid to get wrapped up in jack color....

Few things back from blaster.
Only a little straightening on the shroud. Can't see and pin holes and edges all appear in good shape.
Few small spots on the filter housings, but otherwise in good shape. Hoping to tack them in the morning, then shoot a cheap primer on both of them, both brackets, and the shroud, just to prevent surface corrosion for the duration it's stored.
Hope to complete the heater housings tomorrow.
Etching primer then paint.
Dropped hinges off for glass today and should be done early Monday, then have to replace pins and get to body shop by latter part of next week.

the difference between a half assed job and a top notch job is the attention to detail.
anyone can butcher things together and get them working ... an artist doesn't

I think the brown jacks came about with the 60 series, eh?
late model 40s might've had them too

I'm only half an ass on a good day, so the reason I'm paying attention to the details, as closely.
Who knows?
Maybe the title "Pigangelo" can be earned.
The jack I have came from camotubebender's 71 part out, so thinking it was the OE jack and unmolested.
Having issues seeing colors, as I'm told I do, and general ignorance regarding what colors are for what years, is reason for querying everything.
Lots of questions, but on everything but the rear heaters, I'm going to fix any issues, temp primer, then determine what powder that's baked on over zinc powder, will result a 202ish consistent color, and run with it.
[Edited (my only removed)] concerns are the radiator and higher temp engine part paints.
I know there's high-temp, but does its color vary from a standard?
Should all be done in high temp to ensure consistency?
Were there variations in the original form?
On the interior, I don't know what was white, black, or pewter, except the rear heaters, because that all I had with OE color intact.
underside of back seat was pewter, back of back seat was white on the two early models i've had

Then that makes my pewter choice for the rear heater all the more important.
The aerosol test can, which they did say would differ from the 1oz, but only in its ability to inhibit UV deterioration, which shouldn't matter under the rear seat.
If I stick to this paint code, which was batched off the PPG variant of the T1434, throughout, will I be in good shape?
Was bound and determined to have this done today, but gonna have to spend time on the 80.
Three separate indicators and three indisputable sources at three different times have eluded to the possibility of a bent housing.
Sucks.

One final question regarding color, for today.
I believe these should be bare zinc plated.
I can't seem to find a pin to separate, have soaked and scrubbed in Sinple Green, to no avail, can't blast without possibly destroying zinc, and since zinc is, I think, final finish, see no point in replacing.
Going to marinate in mineral spirits and hope that doesn't harm the plastic/rubber components.
If it does, any replacements?
