Did they come with a jack and if so where was the handle kept. I'am also in need of the metal trim around the front windshield. Does anyone still make it? Also need a handle for the jack.

OTOH, that appears to have nothing to do with your problem accessing Tims site  "I wonder where they all are now?" mostly gone to the smelters, like the ones I've sent off to scrap dealers, shaky ol things that they are  Bill | | | | | Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 1,901 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 1,901 | All I know is I LOVE my screw jack. So handy when the rod is chucked in the screw gun. Up down with the flip or a switch. I made a special short bolt to fit as well for up close use.
I kinda wish they made a floor jack out of one, at any rate it stay's where you set it unlike a lot of hydraulics. I use it all the time. I may keep it if I sell the truck...
Give me ambiguity
or give me something else

Still don't understand the "jack attached to the inner right
side fender bit." What's with that???? Must have been added by
one of the previous owners. I have seen them mounted there,
i.e. on the inner skirt but I'm sure it was much later and it
might have even been on the competitors trucks.

Not sure what the model year run was on when they did it tho'. Not really a subject for the 'bolt.
The 60-66 had 'em under the driver side of the bench seat, as far as I know.
