Back in the mid seventies, I had a jack that worked sort of like a turn buckle. It had a place in the middle to insert a short tire iron, which worked as a ratchet that could be made to jack either way, (up or down). It was given to me by my Dad, and I suspect that it may have been original equipment on a light duty type van. Not sure if it was from a Chevy, Ford or Dodge.
Boy it sure was handy. Have any of you ever seen one of these jacks? I have just recently started searching for one, but I am not for sure which make or model of vehicle that it came with. I am almost sure that it was a factory supplied item and not an after market.
Any information will be greatly appreciated, as it will make my search easier.
