Jacks (the ones that fit in the back corner of the cabs) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

ashx2 · 11-13-2009, 10:32 PM

Does anyone have pics or information about the jacks that were located in the rear of the cab on the passenger side by the gas tanks?

What type of jack it was......what all was located there?......tiretool, etc?

Thanks,
Greg

It was a screw-jack, with a two-piece (or folding) handle, in a bag which I think was a sort of foam.... hmmmm, haven't seen one in a long time.

I still have a jack and handle back there, no bad though. Looked like a screw jack the one time I glanced at it.

I just keep a floor jack in the toolbox mounted to the bed.

I'm gonna go scour my wrecking yard to see if I can find those.

Mine were in my truck too (I'm the 3rd owner) I sandblasted mine and repainted them, I need to find the right Iron and the bag.....

Anyone know if they used that in GM cars of that era? I swear I saw two of those at a garage sale this summer but passed them up. DOH!

I have one similiar in my GMC except mine isn't a screw-type. Did they make more than one type?

Probably an aftermarket hydraulic jack... because someone wanted to have a jack they could actually use.

Screw jacks were better than nothing, but not by much.

I know Chevelle jacks are different. I believe I have 2 or 3 of these old truck ones out in our barn. I have never worried about putting one back in my truck for the noise of bouncing around. Trevor
