I'm in Gillespie County, about 10 miles west of Fredericksburg, 75 miles west of Austin and 65 miles NW of San Antonio. I'd prefer
My quest is to find a jack handle kit for a '98-'04 F150 to operate the crank-down spare tire carrier I am installing on my '52 GMC. Hopefully, I won't have to drive all the way to the "big city" to find one.

Using Google Maps, the closest good candidate I'm finding is Hill Country Auto Salvage & Towing, 1239 RM 1431, Marble Falls, TX 78654, a little over an hour from you. It's NW of Austin.

So he owes me big time. Maybe I can get him to find one for me???

I’ve been told the owner is closing it down and selling out. I’ve been several times and it’s worth the trip.
