Mine was mounted behind and under the seat pass side.

Longhorn Man · 12-22-2011, 11:13 AM

a mechanical screw driven bottle jack came with all pickups 67 - 72. A long handle to twist the jack up, and a lug wrench. The handle and lug wrench went in a foam type bag and stood verticly in the passenger side cab corner retained by a wire retainer. The bottle jack sat on the passnger side floor behinde the seat, retained by a coil spring holding it in a sheet metal holder.

My 71 has both the original jack, handle, and lug wrench still wrapped in the foam stuff.

Man-I just realized I had one of those and threw it away because I didn't think it was factory! I just thought it was something my grandpa did to keep it from making noise,duh

I seem to recall that 73-87's used a similar jack. Anyone know if they are the same.They are still pretty plentiful and might be a good substituion.
