Default Re: 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
