I remember dad had one of those jacks...in 1974!

You poor baby...I graduated high school...in 1970...LOL!!

When I said I thought these jacks are old...I meant OLD, like from the 20s or 30s...

Hey Skiunk...I guess OLD is a relative term...LOL!!...:news:

Henry Ford maybe??????????

now that's some funny $hit
:haha:

My dad had one... I think it's still in his basement under some newer stuff from 1548 or thereabouts. I actually had one that I got from a junkyard long ago when I had my first car (58 Dodge Coronet). They were great for lifting cars that had those massive steel bumpers that could support a car like that.

Now I use a Farm Jack that I got back in the 70's (when I used to go 4 wheeling in Double Trouble and Bass River State Parks) for when I need to do stuff like lifting a boat like that. Thanks for the memories Reel. :clap:

Mine came from my Granddad. He passed it on to my Dad and now I have had it for the last 20 years or so. It's like a family heirloom (yeah, we can be a little redneck up her too).
I doubt you'll find one new like that. As Destroyer mentioned, the cars back then had the big steel bumpers that you could lift the whole vehicle with.
The closest you'll find now are the 4X4 Offroad guys have those high lift jacks for their trucks.

Ours came with the Rambler I think

Exactly.. That's what I call a farm jack. Before they became part of any serious 4 wheelers equipment they were used on farms to stretch fence between posts, jack up tractors, etc, etc, etc.

BTW if anyone wants one, (farm jack) you can buy a good quality one at Harbor Freight for a lot less than most places.
