Jack storage

I am sure that someone will post a picture. For reference the lug wrench is secured on the D/S inner fender. You will see a tab with holes to slide it though. You will then need the hand bolt and clip to secure. The jack is on the P/S inner fender. It has a locking mechanism wit a hand tighten bolt that swings down. You should be able to see an area where the base of the jack slips into the fender and the jack lays along the fender.

Here is the lug wrench, on the driver's side. The pointed end of the wrench fits in a tab with two holes down low and aft (left in the pic, partially hidden by the corner of the master cylinder in this angle). Never knew the reason for the second hole. :

This pic shows the passenger side and the straight end of the handle that fits into the jack. I'm pointing at one of the clips that secures the jack handle:
Metal clip on the passenger side
Here's the Z-shaped end of the handle, stored on the drivers's side. There's one small metal clip (same as the passenger side) at the top, partially hidden by the battery cable, and a larger plastic hoop-shaped clip down low near the headlight:
Driver's side, with non-stock second battery

There are two clips....one to the left of the radiator and one to the right. Designed to hold the barrel jack crank handle. Both are tack welded (not riveted) to the upper core support panel. I've never seen any assembly line part/assembly riveted. . A design carried well into the 90's through multiple Ford truck series offerings. My 97 Ranger's Barrel jack is stored behind the seat vs. the 84's being stored under the hood but both crank handles are stored at the core support in the same configuration.

I know of the folding barrel jack crank arms you are talking about Fuzz. I have two or more in the garage. The Ford equipped barrel jack cranks where literally fitted to conform to the core support within the retainers for storage but able to operate the barrel jack appropriately as a rigid fixture.

The Great Jack Handle Clip Debate of 2016
Why, it's the opening salvo in the Great Jack Handle Clip Debate of 2016! The gauntlet has been thrown. I can safely say, without the slightest hesitation, that 100% of all Ford trucks I've ever owned (1 and counting) have had the superior riveted clips, and not the low-brow plebian welded version.
Here is photographic proof:
No difference from the previous picture, I just like posting photos...
