I've seen this b4 but I dont know what is for.There is also a hook bracket that is bolted to the floor right next to the grommet where the fuel line goes through the floor(hard too get a pic of it) could these be for the jack handle?

Re: whats this bracket?
It's for the jack. These trucks came with a small bottle jack. A long spring held it in place. The handle was in a sack and pinned along the rear column with a spring.
Of course after 40 plus years these jacks were either lost, damaged, discarded or replaced with better ones like the one I have now. Here's a pic of what it should look like without the jack. |

Re: whats this bracket?
After taking another look at yours, it's a little different and seems to be located in a different location than mine. It may be a snap type holder for the handle?? My cab truck is a 68.

I have the same one in my 68 and another bracket about 10 or 12 inches away, near the trans. hump.

Re: whats this bracket?
See if this picture helps, not sure who deserves the credit. It helped me quite a bit trying to figure out how the jack handle is supposed to be stored on my '67. LocDoc also has some great pictures and a detailed Jack Location Decal.
Good Luck! Bob |
