my dad had a 72 that his dad bought new in 72. he sold it around 80 or 81 i think. since that time i havent seen a 67-72 that even had the original jack with it. so i am wondering exactly how it
gets stored. can someone make a picture of theirs for me?
i need to see how it is stored behind the seat. thanks

Most of the ones that I have seen have the jack stored in the depression that is behind the seat on the passenger side on the floor with a spring and a round clasp and the handle is stored with the spring contraption inside the passenger door jamb.
I do not have a pic right now but I have seen the entire original jack handle and pieces and they came in a foam bag.
Here is a pic of the original jack and bag. I am not sure of the year of this item and I do believe that the jacks were different designs over the years.
I may not have got you the pic you requested but at least I will get you post back to the top.

I can't honestly answer that question, it was a pic I lifted from TX Gary’s web page.
I know he has some duelly's and larger trucks (C-30's) and it might be something to do with one of them.
Looks as though you could use it to remove a tire from a wheel for a roadside repair. Or maybe something to do with split rims.
These are just assumptions as I am really not sure what purpose
a straight lug-wrench would have if in fact that's what it is.

The pic from Demi show's the jack upside down from the way I normally store mine, maybe I have been doing it wrong?
