For my '53 one ton I carry an 8 ton hydraulic jack that will lift the wheels, and a 1/2" drive flex bar with the appropriate sized socket . I keep them under the seat, which is not original and lifts from the back to be able to get to things. I also keep an emergency flag/reflector set from the 60's in there. I have an old blanket under there to keep things from making too much noise. I couldn't find a period lug wrench or jack for my truck.

I am currently digging back in to a 1953 3800 (one ton) with a nine foot bed. I've owned it since 1979, and drove it until 1982 (or so). My wife got me involved in restoring it back in 2002, got the body removed and the frame redone, then things came up. Now I am retired and starting again. If anyone is interested I have photos on Imagur (
