you traded a rare westy console box for a stupid jack?   how many do you
want? sounds like you got "jacked" on that deal ;<)  just kiddin..
ps, on the subject of vanagon jacks - here's a FYI..my vanagon has the full
fiberglass bodykit (rocker skirts etc - i added them to my 84)  and i tried
to use the stock tack to jack the van up one day just to see how it went..
NO GO.  the bar that fits into the jack hole would not go in all the way
because of the fiberglass rocker mouldings..  i sifted thru my pile of jacks
and found one that would fit - it was from a '90 with the full fiberglass. so
apparently the vanagons that had the full fiberglass skirts had a different
jack...   just a FYI for those swapping to the full fiberglass kit, take the
jack from the donor van too..    i hate the stock jacks anyway, i carry a
bottlejack w/ me..
