Hi there - wondering if anyone could tell me what exactly was in it?
I've seen pics of a spark plug socket and a flat head screw driver, but can't find any documents to confirm everything that was in there. I'm assuming there was a jack as well. i have the engine crank.
Thanks, Matt

Thanks Bill! I guess that the tool kit components will be my new ebay crusade.

Here is a photo that may help. Note that the oil can shown in the upper left center is incorrect, but close. I was able to find many of these at Hershey a few years ago.

Hi guys. Thanks again for the help. I found a website with some diagrams of most of the tools for 1916 through to about 1948 for future reference
http://1940chevrolet.com

I've managed to get a good part of the tools off eBay in one lot, aside from the tire pump, jack and oil can, but I'll keep my eyes open.

I've seen a few canvas bags on eBay as well. Was the original bag like the one sold from Jim Carters - olive coloured canvas ? I'm assuming the gmc and chevy tool kits were the same, as well.

It appears the info posted on that site is for cars. Some of the tools shown are also used for trucks, but others would be different. The jack shown is a car bumper jack. Trucks used a screw-type jack, that lifted on a frame rail.
