Hi car guys!
Anybody know how to secure my bumper jack and spare tire like it was in 1957?

Easiest way out, unless someone here has a detailed photo, is to order - https://cgfordparts.com/ufolder/ford...?number=DF1351

Thanks. God idea. Wonder where that page would be displayed in the car...

It's a decal/sticker. I've seen them in the middle of the underside of the trunk lid.
There's probably an 'official' position.

Here's that sticker that KULTULZ showed, but from Mac's. Linking to it because they show a larger pic of the sticker that might reveal more detail. Dmsfrr is probably correct in his bottom of the trunk lid location - that's where most of them seem to be. When I've ordered factory decals from this company, they included a sheet that showed where the factory placed them.

There would be several different placements for the different models, sedans and hard tops, convertibles, wagons, Ranchero, retractables, sedan deliveries. Owners manual would be a good place to start.

Now get a load of this -

It is not in the OWNERS MANUAL.

We went through this before regarding storage on a SEDAN and RHT. Not even an ILL in the MPC or a mention in the SHOP MANUAL.

There is a lengthy discussion somewhere.

You really would not have to mount it. Just keep for reference.

There may be an old sticker on the underside of the deck lid maybe faded out.

5851a · 03-14-2021, 09:54 AM

That's unusual.

KULTULZ · 03-14-2021, 10:06 AM

It beats me also.

Maybe there were three storage designs, sedan, SW and RTH?

I looked in the Owners Manual and only saw a very slight reference to SW.

I believe the is a tab next to the spare tire dip in sedans. This may be part of the area where the jack would sit against

Only a 55 Sticker was available for mine, a 56 Wagon. Placement was on underside of spare tire door, center about a 1/3 down according to assembly manual.
