Question is about a 55 2nd series 3100. The jack was missing when I got the truck. I found a small hydrolic bottle jack at a swap meet, and it fits in the jack holding plate really well! The problem is I'm thinking the original should be a screw type. Am I correct, or do I not know jack? Anybody have a picture of whats is suppose to be in the jack location so I can know for sure what I'm looking for! Thanks for the help!

yes it's a screw jack, common up to '72 - see it here, but the bottle jack would prolly be more useful wink

Thanks for the responce, red58! I have seen that type jack here and there, I just did not realize the jack was used for so many years! As far as "usefull" it will be used more for looks, as my truck is a NAPCO. I'm sure I would have to "Block" the small screw or bottle jack. I have a small floor type jack in a carring case I take if out n about. But my curiosity has been satisfied! Thanks again!
