On/off track for a moment. Does the 55 have a rod bracket like the 62? And is it located at the rear or somewhere other. I was crawling around the junk 55 this weekend looking for one, because that is the truck I found the rod in. It has a spare tire under it that might be original and I want it, but between the weeds and Kudzu, I could locate how to lower the spare. And if it has a bracket, I would be interested in what it looks like. End Moment.

built into lower sill under the tailgate
Thanks... Probably right in front of my face and was looking for a part, not part of. Darn weeds and ants..

Lol , I had forgot the 55 had the hole integrated into the rear sill . Spent a lot of time looking over a couple of those trucks sitting abandoned in this area , never have found an owner and the red/white one disappeared this summer . Shame to see them slowly rot away .
I know one of the old threads had a pic of both versions of the starting handle ...one is longer and that is the one for the 55's spare tire/starter . I also have a thread that describes the length and bend points for the 40 series starter handle which is what I'm using for a baseline . Again , still better to have the real thing in hand for making reproduction parts .
CaseyE - can you post up a pic of those clips ? If they do indeed fit a 19mm rod they would be a better pattern to get the radius of the bends from and better analyze what material they are made of - already discovered the storage clips for the jack extensions are a very odd 17ga metal . Not easy stuff to find .

Ok , so they fit a 19mm or roughly 3/4" rod ?
I've been trying to keep track of all the different versions since it may come down to offering more than one version.

Looks like two sets of early jack extension rod clips . I have an exact pair here , minus the torch cut sheet metal .
