I’m looking for an OME jack with tools for my stock 54 F100. I understand the same Jack was used for a number of years in the late 40s through mid-50s.

Thanks Abe for the photo!
These tools are what were in my 55 F350 when I bought it in 2016. I'm not sure if the flat bar and the round bar came in the F100's.
I think this style jack and handle were used up into the 80's.

Jack was used 1948/90's on F100/250, Bronco & Econoline.
Open the right back door of 1969/91 Econolines, The spare tire, jack, fold-able jack crank handle (optional for trucks/Bronco's) and lug wrench were located against the inside of the quarter panel.
I am the third owner of this 55 F350. It is incredible. Nothing chopped up, cut , changed etc. except for a switch on the left side of the dash and an aftermarket oil pressure gauge. It even had the owners manual in the glove box. The switch had wire connected to it that ran through the firewall. I followed it and it ran under the cab and the full length of the flat bed. I added an old 6 volt tractor light to it to use as a backup light. The PO had a 90 acre orchard. I'm thinking this switch and wire may have been used to run some kind of standing spotlight so they could pick fruit at night.... Aftermarket mechanical oil gauge added by PO
Chrome switch added.
Meanwhile, I am the second owner of my 54 F100. Grandpa bought it new. He bought it in December of 1954. I bought it in June of 1977. That means he owned it for about 23 1/2 years. It did not have the jack and handle, nor any tools in it. Of course nothing was cut, chopped up, or changed, except a metal plate added to the bed and steel reinforcement at the tailgate. But the whole truck was very rusty. But no jack!
I believe Abe’s pictured jack is the larger 2 ton variety (B3Y 17080-B) used with Parcel Delivers (J) and F-3/350s (Y). The half ton (C) and 3/4 ton (D) jack is 8C 17080-B. Both are pictured below. Stu

Hmm, that's interesting. O have some other Jack's I bought at an auction. I'll have to compare them. Can't do it now as my F350 is in storage. Thanks Stu.

Stu,
You are right again. I never noticed that the jack from my F350 was bigger than the other jacks I have. The first pic is of a smaller one, probably for F100's. The second pic is a bigger one next to the smaller one. The diameter of the larger one is bigger by a little bit. It measures 6 3/4" at the very top while the smaller one measures 6" both measured at the very top. Now both these have that piece on the top so they are probably for a different year than 53-56. Any ideas from yu guys?
Oh and they both have the whole for the thumb screw which came with the 48-52 trucks.
