The car in the vintage photo is a 1969 Dodge stock car. Photo was taken in late 1969. The jack shown appears to be a D-7400. (can any experts on the board concur with that?)

What color blue is this jack painted? Metallic?

I assume the oval tag on the lift arm is, Model number, etc.
Can anyone post an example?

Is the "AUSCO" logo painted, a sticker or a water slide decal?

Thanks, in advance, for any help.

Here's a pic from the 1969 AUSCO catalog and another under the car, showing the entire handle.

That's great! I bought one today for $20. 2 ton, and AUSCO is forged into the cover plate on mine. Auto Specialties Mfg Co out of Michigan.

ok, I know about the oval tag and how the "AUSCO" name is put on the lift arm.

Still wondering about the color of the 1960s Ausco products. I guess nobody owns anything made by Ausco in the 60s, that's the original blue color?
