Can anyone shed some light on what kind of J hook is correct for a 69 elcamino bumper jack. My understanding is that a jack from any 68-72 elcamino or wagon will work. But to be correct you have to have a 68 or 69 J hook. I know I’ll never use it but I want my interior to be complete and correct.

I don't know what difference there is, if any, between '68 and '69. Here's a pix of a '68.

Thanks for the pic. Would you be so kind as to take a picture of the part number and stamping on the face of the J hook. Just curious to see what it says. I found a picture of one for an example.

Here's the J hook I have for the '68 I'm restoring now. I don't recall if it came with the EC or I got it later. The earlier pix were from a '68 I no longer have.

Thanks for the pics. It sure looks like the same one in your first photos doesn’t it. Have you held it up to your bumpers to see if it fits correctly.

It does appear to fit correctly to both front and rear.

Thanks Greg. This helps narrow my search down a great deal.

FWIW.....Just a little "heads up" on my experience with my 70 SS El Camino....most of us like to use a larger tire/rim combo than what the factory installed. Installing a larger spare tire / wheel will result in having less room to slide the bench seat rearward. To gain a portion of this "loss" back, you can redrill the hole in the back wall mounted bracket up higher and regain a portion of your lost space utilizing the factory supplied parts. I know, many of us do not wish to drill new holes in our "treasured sheet metal", but.......
