  Does anybody have good clear pics of a 49 jack all 3 pcs. There was an article in a V8 times a few yrs back,probebly put in by Lynn Stacey the tool man. What would that be in?? I could look through that yrs issues,but don't want to go through a collection of 250 odd magazines looking for it. Thanks for any help on this. ken ct.

  This is a good time to promote using the V-8 TIMES index of topics that is available.
Go to V-8 TIMES from the left column menu.
Once there, page down and fill in a keyword....................... 1949 Jacks (there will be many topics since it keys on 1949 and jacks) Use the prev/next on the lower right to navigate through the pages.

I found this information --
Ford Tools, Part V: Update on Jacks 20 6 1983 Nov-Dec

So it's the 1983 Nov-Dec issue that you want to be looking for.

  Photograph of the original tool kit in my unrestored, original 1949 Custom Sedan built in Antwerp, Belgium. Hope this helps.

  I believe that by 1949 the full sized Ford was the same -- except for left and right drive -- domestic and export. The jack looks pretty much like my 1949 Ford one.

  I know Ford had more than 1 supplier for jacks and were all similar but not quite the same. So theres more than 1 style that could be correct for concours judging ???? ken ct. Is this correct.

  Here's the first of three photos showing a jack, still in its factory box, which came with our 11,738-original-miles 1950 coupe (built in Canada).

That C8M part number prefix on the box indicates Canada, not Ford of USA. The late Don Gibson, who helped write the Club's 1949-50-51 Ford Book, believed that this jack might also have been supplied with Mercurys as well as Meteors and Monarchs on our side of the border.
