53 f 100 jack

I am wondering about the jack and tool/handle storage on my 53. Don't see the hole like on the earlier trucks for bolt hold down. thanks in advance. Don

Don, welcome to FTE, the best Ford Truck Forum on the world wide Web! Please post pictures of your 53 when you have time.

In the 53 to 56 trucks there is no hold down bolt nor a hole to put one. In the 53 to 55 there is a stand-up divider of sorts behind the seat. I think the Jack, handle and tools were meant to be placed between that and the back wall of the cab. And of course they ounces around. And that is why perhaps so many trucks are missing theirs as owners took them out. Another option was to place them under the seat.

Jack hold down

Don,

I store my jack ,etc behind the seat in my '50 F1, in a compartment I build in out of plywood.




I assume you are in final paint but could you perhaps use a rivnut through the floor to bolt a bracket to hold the jack, handle from bouncing around ?
