Jack and tire toolS

[Weston67]

My 67 has a jack clamped on the left fender. It appears that there is also a bracket that may have been used to hold a thin cranking handle. I've seen a number of pictures of trucks with the jack but never the handle and tire iron. What should be there? Any pics?

Weston,

The crank for the jack lives under the seat, and is secured by a couple of plates with wing-nuts. Move your seat all the way forward to see where it lives.

The tire-iron clips under the seat next to the crank.

My tire-iron was missing when I bought the truck (the jack is also missing, lost in my garage somewhere) Strangely I couldn't find a tire-iron at my junkyard. They may squirrel them away to keep folks from breaking glass, who knows? I was able to pick one up at National Parts Depot for a moderate price.

Cheers,
Duane

Interesting. I replaced the original bench with one from a 93 iirc and there surely wasn't anything under there. I also realize now that what I though might be a handle bracket of some sort on the fender is actually the holder for the windshield washer bag!
