It took me quite a few years to figure this one out. When I finally got desperate and went asking on the CJ3B section I was able to get some serious and accurate help.

Papa C,

Looking in Parts list,

# A-1240  Jack, screw type... was used on CJ2a up through CJ5.

# 635517 Wrench, socket (Wheel nut)... was used CJ3B through CJ5

And then OLDTIME pointed me to this very accurate and reasonably priced reproduction

And then even more positive confirmation from Mr. Bill Norris

Here is a good discussion on the original jacks: http://thecj2apage.com/forums/jack_topic8398.html.

They were built by Spun Steel Company of Canton, OH. They were basically the same until 1967.

Charles, the one in your picture does look correct. People often mistake those with a square base as being correct (apparently those are more common), but it is actually rectangular shaped.

Which settles the question for me once and for all about what kind of Jack would have been available and correct.

One thing I'm not so sure about is the tire tool in the following picture. It's pretty rusty but I found it hiding out in my 63dj. Nothing verified about the tire tool yet, just speculation, but it does look like it would serve a dual purpose of both removing a hubcap and working the Jack.

Either that, or it's a ground down old crowbar or tire tool, or something!!!???

Hi Charles,
I had always thought it was the rectangular base for the WW jeeps and square for the early Cjs and later jeeps.
That was a nice clarification.
