Question Factory jack location?

I hate to ask this, but where is the factory jack SUPPOSE to be?
I've had a '92 D-350 for years and am finally selling it. I never did find the jack or location so I carried a floor jack. (Book says right front fender well - where the air filter is!) Yes, the lug wrench and accessories are in the Club Cab section. I'd like to satisfy my curiosity before it goes and at least tell any potential buyers where it should have been!

Don't feel bad -- my jack was sitting behind the seat in the cab when I got the truck, and there is no mounting hardware whatsoever under the radiator overflow, etc, etc.

If my truck has a jack I have yet to find it. I just threw a bottle jack in the tool box. I can't find any place where one might have been mounted either.

looking at the truck from the front it is to the left of the radiator, UNDER the overflow bottle. It may not look it but it is / was there.

1 ton trucks were shipped without a jack. The factory jack is not strong enough to handle the rear wheels at full GVW.

It's in the manual somewhere, that's how I found out about it. I was PO'ed when I got the truck, I thought the jack was missing.

No manual with mine. If I remember right the stock jack was a screw type and it looked kind of flimsy. I would not have tried it anyway. I usually carry a bottle jack and a few 4x4 blocks and a BIG lugnut wrench with a cheater pipe. I like changing tires almost as much as I like banging myself in the head with a claw hammer.

Yep! Believe it or not I actually hit myself in the face with the claw end. Still have the scar. Also dropped a starter on my face but that's a different thread.

At least you didn't glue your buttcheeks shut...




And YES, my jack is right on the front right corner of the truck, down below everything else...

Mine is still there, never been touched as far as I can tell. I have to use a flashlight to see it though because of the location, ac lines, dirt, it blends in good.
