FORUM RULES: Users agree to these Rules when using Forum.

The site administrator reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of the user agreement without prior notice to the user. It is the responsibility of the user to regularly review the terms of this agreement.

The user agrees to the following terms:

All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

http://donclink.com/deuce_75_1/images/dscn2950.jpg

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)
HOW DO I SHOW MY EMAIL ADDRESS ALONG WITH MY USERNAME? You can LogIn on the Forum, and select PREFERENCES.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
