how many of you found the original jack in your truck?

Longhorn Man · 04-09-2006, 12:37 PM

one out of 4 here.

PICKMUP · 04-09-2006, 12:47 PM

I throw those things away. With that small base...they will kill you. Get the later type that is bigger and has the "J" shape that will go under the A-frames of a lowered truck or real low flat.

Bob D · 04-09-2006, 01:08 PM

I'm not sure if I have the original jack, what do they look like? The one that came with my truck is a telescoping crank type with a folding crank rod. Small square base and flat steel saddle shape top for lifting at the frame. The crank and tire tool were in a folded, tapered grey foam pouch thing.

I had one, would love to have an original complete jack,someday it is on my wish list, which just keeps growing

**Stocker** · 04-09-2006, 01:13 PM

I have it, but I refuse to use it.

1969k10stepside · 04-09-2006, 01:13 PM

I found the original out of my 71

**Canadian694x4** · 04-09-2006, 01:24 PM

Nope...don't even have a clue what the original 4x4 jack looks like.

Robert1970C20rstbukt · 04-09-2006, 01:35 PM

I have the one from my truck, don't use it though. I keep a 4 ton bottle jack in the toolbox and a farm jack(hi-lift for y'all city guys) chained in the bed.

toms68cst · 04-09-2006, 01:57 PM

Mine sits behind the seat in the original burlap bag. It looks like it's never been used. I've never had it out.

jay_shy · 04-09-2006, 02:05 PM

Could someone post a pic.

Are the 2wd and 4wd jacks the same?

tom , can you get a picture of that jack in the burlap bag.

i never heard of the jack in a bag. jack in the box yes

dont have to take it out of the truck (i wouldnt) just a pic as close as you can get

my 71 has the original jack still straped down and the tools in the styrafoam bag And a full set of road flares i believe they are dated ?/69

also have 2 spare sets of jacks and tools for my next 2 trucks ill look to see if i have a pic
only pic i have

Fred T · 04-09-2006, 10:11 PM

Here's a pic of one that I lifted from ebay. The same jack was used from 55 or so until 72, only difference was the saddle on the top. Early ones didn't have the saddle, then the style in the pic here. At one time I had 3 of them, one from a 64, a 68 and a 69 burb. I used them a lot, usually on a piece of plywood. When these trucks were new bottle jacks were a lot of money and these jacks worked. They were far better than the Chevy bumper jack at the time. We had a couple of those fail.

LUV2XCLR8 · 04-09-2006, 10:13 PM

I recently aquired everything but the crow bar, still looking for one of those

Joe67 · 04-09-2006, 03:12 PM

Ours was intact. It has been in the garage for 15 years LOL

Botietruck · 04-09-2006, 04:05 PM

Mine was in my '71, along with the crank handle.

Geezer · 04-09-2006, 07:19 PM

Mine was still in the truck.

**Palf70Step** · 04-09-2006, 09:12 PM

All the pieces to mine were in the 70 when I bought it. It doesn't look like it had much use.

project1971 · 04-09-2006, 09:34 PM

mine is in my 71 too have to ask the old man if he ever used it... doubtful though

phlegm · 04-09-2006, 10:49 PM

I have the jack and the tools, but do not have the bag.....

wibilly · 04-10-2006, 12:57 AM

4 trucks- no jacks they probably fell out the holes where they were stored

longhorn70gmc · 04-10-2006, 03:27 AM

I am batting zero on all my trucks. I had to go get some out of old Vans and they work just as well. I Just don't know where they Originally mounted.
