not thinking those were in an 69-72 trucks and if they were, you are on the right web page just wrong sub group to find one. If these were in 69-up trucks the parts board for that genre would be where to look. I have searched for years to find one in any 60-66 truck and only just now found the first one still in a 66. I was pretty much convinced after 30 years of watching and looking that they never existed until I found this 66 with its original still in it.

I had the ad on the 67-72 also, that's where I got one

Steve it does show in the 60-66 jack stowage decal, but I wonder if that piece was optional.. Over 200 trucks and only one of them had it, was in a '62.

yeah same here - at least 200 trucks entered and searched and zero tire tools like this, but the one that had one was my new-to-me 66 3/4 ton w/ lock ring wheels so wonder if that is why - only ever were any in 3/4 tons to begin with

By the way this appears to be keyed for the notch in the split rim locking rings. Think about that.

Is that the new AC truck? Is there a lug wrench present? Would be nice to know definitely which wrench is correct for 3/4 tons..

Interestingly, the Palomino find has its jack and correct shorty 3/4 ton lug wrench and so does the Blue Chevy, so that will never happen again, but I haven't looked good enough in the GMC to see if that hubcap tool was in it. The Blue 66 Custom Camper does indeed have the hubcap tool

Is it for sale?

[gmc 2500 4x4]

I seen a parts book saying 55-66 had these. Let me know if you still need one, I located another

I'm by no means an expert and am sure I haven't seen as many of these trucks as other Forum members. But, when bringing the wife's '61 Apache back to life, I ran into the same question regarding the tire iron.
In the 1960-1966 Chev/GMC Truck Factory Assembly Instruction Manual, pix 1, page 137 shows Jack & Tool Storage.
Pix 2 shows the 10-20-30 Cab & Suburban storage.
Pix 3 shows storage for 1405-3605.
Both pixs show a tire iron.
Difference in the two pictures is: the spring orientation: Note 1 at both jack illustrations and the instruction sheet.
Pix 4 is Note 1, For part number see miscellaneous shipping list. I couldn't find the miscellaneous shipping list in the book for any difference in the jacks.
The reproduction instruction sheet I bought (pix 5) indicates part #3773143, which is the same as pix 2. Pix 3 shows the instruction sheet as 3773144 or 3773146.
The 3773141 sheet says "Equipped with optional equipment only".
Wife's truck was optioned out so, I bought a tire iron from Northern Tool to complete what was illustrated.

Sure, yes I'd be interested
