LOL. Sounds familiar. I had a '70 way back in '79 for two years. Bought my current '71 in 2002. I used to take out the back window and had to leave it home 'cause there just wasn't enough room to carry it. Imagine my surprise when I bought a owners manual in 2003 and it was talking about a drop down shelf to store the window. WHAT!!! Bent over and looked up under there and low and behold....a button!

I know the voices aren't real, but they have some pretty cool ideas...

I could use a jack and a spare if someone has them

I'm assuming that the hidden compartmet is the door on the passenger side of te car? No matter, I already had the whole interior out when I did the carpeting...

Thanks

Yeah,its on the passenger side,but there is an insert in there,like a false bottom. the whole interior compartment pulls out in one piece ,it has some holes around the edge of it ,put your fingers in them and it lifts right out,underneath that is another compartment where the jack is

Hey Luke,

I'm bidding on one on e-bay...if I win I'll sell it for what it costs me plus postage or you can outbid me. I really don't need it.
