Need a picture
Need a picture of the jack that came with the 1953 Ford F100. I am guessing they were all the same. Anyone out there who has a picture or can get one please reply to this message with it. The more the better for comparison. 
thanks
thanks

Here's a pic of my 51 jack (identical to my 2002 Ranger Jack next to it),
And one I believe was used with the Effies:
I'll let the other guys comment on accuracy.

Well, actually there were different types.

Julie, I believe the second photo you got from a Ford truck book that I also have. It looks nice and polished and shiny on that nice wood bed and the owner might of fooled people at a car show and perhaps the author of the book but he is not gonna fool us die hard Effie owners. I don;t know what that jack is to. To me it looks like just a generic type. We had one on the farm that we used to jack up our Ford 48N. We just called it the tractor jack. Whether it came with the tractor or not, I don;t know.
I think the author listed it as a Bonus Built jack and when we had a discussion some 9 to 11 months ago about jacks I posted that picture and quoted the caption from the book and was swiftly corrected by the "Effie Force" saying that no it was not of Bonus Built, but Effie origin.
Could be, I've never seen one of them. All the Ford truck jacks I've seen are like the 100s everyone keeps posting pictures of.
Funny thing is, when I wanted to buy one, there was one on e-bay calling it a RARE 48-52 jack and the bidding was wild. It sold for over $150 - without the thumb screw! I'd have felt pretty stupid spending that kind of dough on something i know today is so common!
I never knew the jacks were so plentiful nor that they were so much the same for so many years. I guess with cheapster old Mr. Ford, I should have guessed

One thing that seems to be quite a factor with this type of equipment and a lot of new owners aren't aware of, is that in the 1950s much of this equipment was installed at the DEALER and not the factory. Thus even though Ford had a list of acceptable aftermarket parts manufacturers for the dealers to pick from, sometimes "Stock" equipment was VERY different from vehicle to vehicle!

Pronounce the "F" in F1 or F100. It sounds like "eff".

This thing looks and works like Model T tech. The dog on the back side of the handle base flips forward and backward to allow you to raise and lower the jack. It works great and will lift a bunch of weight, but without knowing where it came from I'd date it to the mid-20's.
Julie, I believe your statement is right on!

And speaking of variations on a theme, I got an E-mail from little Mikey Holcomb of Crawford Texas (4thgenford) and he wrote:
"Dear Julie,
I'm going to try and send a picture of the jack that came with my 50 f1. This truck was purchased by my grandpa in late 1949. When I aquired the truck 1978 it was complete. I know this is the jack, jack handle and lug wrench that came with the truck. Thought you might want to post it on FTE."
Well Mikey, your wish is my command! Here's the picture:
It's interesting to note how different the top support is on this one - never seen one like this before. Nice set - jack and tools!
Nice picture Mike - Thanks. And remember, "You asked for it!"

Thanks Julie, I didn't see any pics like mine on here, and knew if anyone could get it posted you could! Hope this helps, now if I just had the thumb screw that the body shop lost I would be a happy man! (-:

The thumb screw is the only thing that was left by the PO. Hoping to find the correct jack and tools before my cross country tip this spring. I know were the jacks stored but what about the tools?
