A friend's Dad gave me truck jacks. He delivered milk to stores and supermarkets in NYC. Wondering if anyone has information on them and picture of a handle. They're too tall for front of my 55.1 3600, but good size for rear. Thanks

I recall seeing jacks like that years ago, but don't have any information other than I believe the handle was a flat bar that was also use for demounting tires (was spoon-like on one end). I think there may still be one of those tire irons in my mom's garage that dad had and I used when I was in high school.

A quick search on eBay shows a number of similar ones, calling them Model T Ford jacks.

Please post If you come across a picture of a handle. Thanks Kevin

Here's a sample of three different jack handle/tire irons I have. They are all about 18" long.

The one I recall was similar to THIS
Also a pic of another that sold as a Model T Jack handle, but not like I recall.

Thanks all!

I found a handle and it looks like a match. It was in the same shed as the jacks.

Nice! Now you have a complete setup.

If the jack is too tall to go under the axle put it under the spring close to the axle.

May be too tall for that. I'll check it out
