1965 Dodge Dart Charger



If this is the hook you're using, the hole in the face of the hook should fit over the threaded carriage bolt in the spare tire well. This will allow you to flip the mast of the jack over so that the spring will hook onto the bar in the ratchet that the hook locates on.

Kevin, Dan and everybody else! Thanks for your advice. Mission completed regarding the spare tire, base and hook. This is the way it should be! Thanks so much! :coffee2:

How the mast was hooked up is another story. It would like to have the rachet on the upper side but that depends on how the factory spring looks like.

I think slantsixdans idea is the way to go! If I can find a factory spring then I might be able to figure out how is was mounted in the trunk.
