    Time to get rid of extra parts and would like to identify this bumper jack,30 years ago I took it out of a 53 Olds but its not for one and was told it looks like a 55 Chevy jack so can anyone identify it.

    I’m not familiar with Tri5 jacks, but TF trucks used a wind up bottle Jack.
    It does look earlier than the 60’s bumper jacks I’m had and used.
    @Johnny Gee has a few tri5’s. Maybe he can shed some light.

    It's been a while but I seem to recall that the area that goes under the bumper was flat and not a hook I had a lot of them when I was selling 5,6 and 7 parts but I'm not quite sure.

    here's a 55 - 56 for sale. they said Chevrolet used multiple manufacturers and they vary slightly depending on where the car was built

    A long time since I looked at a ‘55 jack but that’s not how I remember it. Flat, like 1934 coupe said and I don’t recall a dimple on the base plate. Also 55 had a flatter base. However, no suggestions on what it might be.

    Only one of them has original jack. The one in question by OP does not look correct.

    They're great for cocking the bumper up at an angle after a couple of flats.
