Hey Gang, I'm looking for an original jack for my 51. I don't have a digital pic of the item, but it is of the old gear & ratchet type where you turn a vertical gear that then meshes with a horizontal beveled gear that raises the screw post. Has a rectangled base with 4 webs against the round column that contains the screw post that lifts the truck. A poor description, I know, if I can find a pic I'll post it.

Anyone with an extra one laying around, I would be interested.

Thanks, Jim

 

jeffh posted this picture of his jack a while back:



In this thread:
Pictures of original F2, F3 jack, anyone?

In this thread it was mentioned Barry has said the F1/F2's used the same jack for all the halftons up thru the 1980's and carries the same part number.

This is the jack that was in my '48 F-4 when I got it:

 

The jack pictured by Bobj49f2 is almost identical to the pic in Don Bunn's "Classic Ford F-Series Pickup Trucks 1948-1956" that I'm using for a reference. This is the type I'm looking for.

Thanks for finding the picture for me.

Jim

 

Are you looking for one like this?

 

No, it is more like the one you posted in the previous message
