Hello!
I have an '84 Caprice Classic. It didn't come with a jack.
Can someone recommend a jack I can get for the car?
Thanks!
Bye,
Daniel

head to the recyling yard and see what the B bodies have in the trunk. Or get a small floor jack, I have one of these in my GP

A small two ton jack will be fine.
Idk about b bodies (your car) but if it has circular holes in the frame under the a pillar and before the rear wheel you can use a g body jack.

But if your car has big wheels on it you'll need to take that into account

Good luck in the junkyard. Did you know that when a car gets to the yard there is a person who takes all the jacks out and sends them to jack heaven! I've never seen a car jack in a junkyard.

Pick a Parts do remove the battery, fluids, and the jack assembly before the cars are set in the rows. For liability reasons. Have seen multiple jacks and batteries, out in the pick a part on the west side of El Paso, they are very sloppy about not removing them. Does make it easier, though, if you actually have to lift something heavy out there, always lower it back down after using the jack, to save the next guy. Who may or may not be competent out there.

My Caprice Classic has this scissor jack, and yes the frame does have the holes as well.
