Straight Jack Handle-Non Folding

Not sure where or when I came across this. Have had it for several years, looks the same as the folding jack handles we all are familiar with from our trucks. Only difference in this one is it is a straight 48'' long before the 12'' 90% bend and then a 4'' handle section. Can post pics later this afternoon or evening. Never run across this style before. It does have the flared or angled tip just as folding jack handles do. Anyone run across such a critter before?

What year is your C30? Seems I read somewhere on here that the straight jack handle is from a '67? Can't find the post now that I want to.

Late '80's and early '90's Fords (maybe older and newer as well) have a one piece jack handle that looks about like our GM jack handles on the ends but they don't fold.

Re: Straight Jack Handle-Non Folding

Hmmm, wonder how I wound up with a F**d jack handle. Only F**d I ever owned was a '69 Mustang Mach 1 I bought when I first came home from Viet Nam in April of '70. Kinda wish I had kept that F**d.
