1966 F100 4X4 Styleside SB 352 2V
Everyone, as always the help you have provided for me is greatly appreciated 
, I have a question to ask and am looking for some continued advice.
Question:
My truck was extremely original before starting its restoration, however, I see no evidence of a jack for changing tires, can you guys tell me how the jacks were provided (any options?) and does anybody have photos?
Advice Needed:
The level of completion on this truck is just about to the rolling chassis with drive train installed......I noticed the other day that the top of the frame has numbers stamped on it (the powder coat made it stand out like a beacon)......what I am wanting to know is what should I look for (similar to the frame number) to properly document this vehicle, I don't want to miss something and assemble back over the information without at least a photo.
Thanks, mosigndude (Mark)

When I got my '66 in 2010 I was surprised to learn that the jack was not included as standard equipment when the truck was new. Neither, for that matter, was the spare wheel or tire. Apparently, you bought them from the dealer (ND will know for sure) and when you did, you just stuffed the jack and lug wrench behind the seat, wrapped in a rag or something to keep them from rattling and bashing the gas tank. Spare wheel/tire assemblies could be mounted under the truck or in the bed of a Styleside and side mounted external to the bed on a Flareside. For '67 model (and later) trucks, jacks and lug wrenches were mounted inside the engine compartment. You should probably have two VINs stamped into the top of your passenger side frame rail. One would be found under where your cab sits, and the other forward of that. Since your truck is a 4 x 4, it may not be like my 2WD. Just make sure the VIN on your frame matches the VIN on your state vehicle title, and it should also match the VIN on the warranty plate attached to your driver's door, unless someone has replaced the door or changed out the warranty plate for some reason. Good luck!
