Does anybody know if a later model T-birds jack will work on a Squarebird? In particular a 68-69?

"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming: Wow - what a ride!" -
Unless you don't care much about the finish on your bumpers, you might consider a compact, modern jack tucked away behind the spare tire for real roadside work, with an original just for looks.
I can get the # off of the jack so you can watch for one. They appear on Ebay now and then. I believe the same jack went for the 55-57 2 seaters.
Some of the parts suppliers have original exploded parts diagrams with part numbers so you could compare the 58-60 with the 68-9 directly.
(later) There is a detailed discussion and photos of a Squarebird jack at the thread below:
