I do have an option for you but the Shelby trailer jack mounting bracket that you have welded to your frame won't be able to be reused with any newer jack. The Shelby trailer jacks did use similar designs in regards to mounting like the bolt-through and snap ring that some current jacks have but they are simply not cross-compatible. The bolt-through option for example from Shelby has a flat plate whereas the current models have a recessed portion.

Therefore, the best option for you would be to use a bolt-on jack, the Round Swivel Marine Jack w/ Wheel part # MJ-1200B unless you are willing to cut the old bracket off and weld a new one on that is. I don't have any way to look up old Shelby part numbers for specifics unfortunately.
