FORUM RULES: Users agree to these Rules when using Forum.

The site administrator reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of the user agreement without prior notice to the user. It is the responsibility of the user to regularly review the terms of this agreement.

The user agrees to the following terms:

All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)

Where would the jack (safety) instruction tag be located?

I had only found a couple of factory photographs that depicted that tag (location). Left side, hanging from the hinge.
Keep in mind that factory photos were not always the "reality" of things as they were occasionally staged.
Regardless, I'd never found anything else that even remotely suggested a prescribed location.

Ken,
A friend of mine, Terry, shared a 1939 document that stated the tag was fastened to the jack when the tool kit was made. Like Terry, neither of us found any documents that changed this method for 1940 nor 1941.
My experience was a couple of factory photos which I will admit are not always accurately representing the "real world" and a few extremely well preserved vehicles I'd owned.
I suppose this only muddies the proverbial waters more. Sorry for that...

I have a very original 1940 Ford Deluxe Business coupe that has what appears to be the original Jack Tag hanging by a wire on the left trunk hinge. Some time ago I read the way to tell an original Jack Tag from a reproduction but I can not recall the details now.
I think the difference possibly had something to do with the Form Number.

Mike in the previous to your 1940 book the trunk picture shows tag on left hinge.
That is where I hang mine.

Tom,
Perhaps I should have been clearer in all of responses within this thread. From my personal experience with extremely well preserved '40 Fords, I have found the tag hanging at the left trunk lid hinge.
Terry, the fellow I'd mentioned in a previous thread, has knowledge that simply amazes me. I am grateful and fortunate that he is willing to share.
Terry had located a document that clearly stated the tag was to be attached to the jack. Keep in mind that document was released and intended for 1939.
So, the question that may come to your mind (it comes to mine) here is: "Did that instruction continue through '40"?
Neither he nor myself has yet to come upon a document that changed that instruction in later years. However, that doesn't preclude the possibility that the location was not changed.
It seems that the tags in '40 were in fact placed on the left hinge. All of them?
