I have both #100 and #200 open end wrenches plus pliers.

Here are photographs of that item. I will have to look through my tools to see exactly what the sizes were. http://www.flickr.com/photos/advance-design_parts_co/8129504234/in/set-72157631868452754Expect to pay around $200+ for a similar NOS set. Tools are either VLchek or McKaig-Hatch. Jim Carter sells a set of drawings with the various tools illustrated by year. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2013 Posts: 293 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Aug 2013 Posts: 293 | Thanks for the information and pictures gives me something to use as a guide poking around in the antique shops and for posting the fantastic photos on the stream.

If so was it the same as the one Brad has a link too? | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 | Tool kits were standard equipment through 1948. From 1949 upwards, the tool kit was an accessory. Different sized trucks had different sized jacks. http://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.com/chevyresto/48103.htmThe tool kits before 1947 had an adjustable wrench. The spark plug wrench in the tool kit matched the spark plugs (which changed from 10mm to 14mm in 1949). | | | | | Joined: Aug 2009 Posts: 311 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Aug 2009 Posts: 311 | Thanks Tim!
