I knew if anybody had them it'd be Lin. Glad to learn that he has them for certain. Stu

Stu, I just received one(thumb screw) from Lin Stacey which looks original and fits perfectly. If you want to be original, this is the one. Don

I just noticed, looking at the tool list Lin Stacey sent me, that he has a 5/16-24 thumb screw with integral 1" washer zinc plated for $2.

Thanks. I know Tractor Supply has some with coarse thread I could use but I am afraid of removing the 24 thread nut because it would be my luck that the cage would break, so I will leave with a bolt. Don

Stu, What is the size of the thumb screw, diameter, thread, length. Looks familiar like I may have some in all my junk.

Wish I did. I've got a total of six 51/52s and the one I pictured is the only one that was still with the truck. I also don't recall seeing them on ebay. Probably not something the parts vendors think is special so they don't worry about listing it. Stu

Stu, I have been looking for a "thumb bolt" for my '51 jack mount for a long time. You know anyone who has one? Thanks, Don

I did contact Lin last night and I had a list of tools and a photo of the full set in my morning eMail. He does seem like the go to guy for tools. I have to keep telling myself to be patient till I actually have the truck home before I go to wild buying extras. Jim... 1950 F1 Stake

I'll be in your same place in the not too distant future I hope, and will be contacting Lin too for a full set of tools. I didn't post Lin's email address because I know that's verboten on some sites, and didn't know the rules here. When you get your tools, you'll also want to be sure to find the special finger bolt that secures the jack in its place behind the seat. Let's see if I can figure out how to post a picture of it here. Stu McMillan '52 F-3 Marmon Herrington V8 '52 F-3 Marmon Herrington I6
