Some believe I've crossed over to the dark side. 39/40 vs. '36

Brian, perhaps I am mistaken but thought the crank extension was no longer a standard issue tool.
Yes? No?

I'm learning here


Mike, Sorry, I don't know the definitive answer, but, a 2/1/38 Service letter announces the tire pump,grease gun, and starting crank were discontinued as regular equipment on new cars and trucks. Evidently, the crank and extension were discontinued 8/7/36....this info is from the 1938-39 Ford Book, published by the EFV8 Club, pg 3-48

Thank you Brian!

Kube - Here are my observations:
I see only one of the two small open ended wrenches (maybe it's hidden?). One is 7/16" x 1/2" (B-17015) and the other is 9/16" x 5/8" (B-17016).
There should be a starting crank extension (67-17040)
I would assume your jack is the correct commercial jack (50-17080) and not the car version (68-17080-A).
Otherwise it looks like you have a very nice and virtually complete tool kit for your sedan delivery. Hopefully someone will definitively know where the tools were stored.

Pat Stacey ([email protected] 630-308-6081) is be a good place to start for the starting crank extension and any other tool needs. The small wrench, if missing, seems to be plentiful at many car flea markets. She took over running the tool business when her husband Lin died.

Over fifty years ago, I bought a '34 Sedan delivery. It was complete, but very rusty. One of the things that surprised me is that I found a complete, apparently unused tool kit in a small compartment under the driver's seat. I don't know if it's applicable to a '36, but your post shook this particular memory loose after all of this time.

Good eye! Yep, need to find that small wrench.

I like stories like yours. Makes this stuff fun.
I'm envious you can recall fifty years ago.
There is no compartment beneath either seat on the '36.
For now, I'm gonna place the tools in that small compartment behind the left seat. I suppose until I know for certain, that place will "work".

Here's the burlap tool bag that was stuffed in with the "parts". It's quite stained but otherwise undamaged. Has a definite green tint to it. I'd never seen one like this (greenish).
Any guesses?

[Model51]

I've only seen grimy plain burlap. Any chance it was paint overspray? I think these were made from scrap material so it could be an end of a roll? Just guessing.

Nope, it's green inside and out Definitely a light green.

Hemp?!! lol

Great old Ford! I believe a set of the chrome "spyder" wheel covers, like on your roadster, would look perfect on the delivery....

I must admit, I have given your suggestion a lot of consideration.
This delivery was built (originally) with a radio and heater as well as the right (passenger) seat. Kind of odd options for a delivery vehicle.
So, I suppose it wouldn't be too far a stretch to believe spyder caps were also installed back then.
There are eight "road rash" caps that came with the car that would certainly fit right in with the rest of the car.
Hmmm...
