My car lacks the mechanism or spring needed to hold the jack in the storage slot on the right side of the trunk. Anyone have a picture of the item I should find?Continue

"Thanks for this timely post. I forgot about the black wooden block that used to be in my trunk. Not sure where it is now. I recently finished a fence project & had a 6" scrap of 4X4 left over so I just made another with the dimensions you…"
"This is excellent! Thank you!
I shall remake mine as well"
"Measurements of the block in the trunk of my 69 Cadillac:
Picture a right triangle:
Base = 3 1/2"
Height = 5 3/4"
Hypotenuse = 6 5/8"
The block is 3 1/2" thick, so if looking down on the base, you'd see a 3.5"…"

"Thatd be great! I think I have mine kicking around here somewhere. Let me know what the dimensions of yours is. I think mine was split in two it was so dry. Id like to remake mine as well. "

"I believe all Cadillacs of the 60s and 70s came with those black-painted triangular blocks of pine. They did in my 67, 69, and 70 cars. I plan to take the dimensions off those and prepare a block for this 1964 car which is missing the…"
"Jason, are the wooden blocks a factory component? Mine also came with the black wood block for the tire block.
It is mega hot here this week. Perhaps repainting my bumper jack is something easy I can accomplish this week......"
"There should be clips in each end inside the opening as seen in my picture below. If yours are missing I have plenty along with the screws that attach them. "

Many thanks,
