I have several that look exactly like that one hanging around my place .... they are still on the top (or bottom maybe) of some of the 4 by 4's I have out back.

[JIPJOBXX]

I've gong modern and carry two plastic ones like that wood one.

[BobT-47P15]

My version....

[falconvan]

Darn, if he only had a matching set of four, I'd jump on it.

[Plymouthy Adams]

That is funny!!! I will laugh even harder if someone buys it. It is for the guy who has eveything. LOL!

[RobertKB]

woodscavenger, with your handle, I thought you would be after that item for sure!

My 48 came with a sheet metal wedge to place behind the tire when you used the bumper jack so that the car would not roll and have the jack fall. Do not know if these were standard on MoPars of the 40s and 50s or not. Keep it behind the tire in the well. It looks like if you forgot it was blocking the tire and backed up it would collapse.

[Young Ed]

My 48 has one of those also. The jack is also in a nice canvas storage pouch thing.

When I was a kid many commercial trucks carried the double chock blocks that were linked together with chain so they could prevent travel in any direction. Delivery type trucks like propane and freight, especially, and I suppose that they were required to do so. I have always favored the big red brick myself. BobT, you should definately market those...

[Fireball]

Would he ship overseas...

[Johnny S]

Looks like it's "worth" at least $9.00 plus shipping!!

Tim, I think yours is better .... nicer woodgrain. And such a nice color. Yours could be constructed out of one of those exotic woods from Texas or Florida? Sage brush or Mesquite or maybe Palm or Palmetto?

Here's a photo of the metal chock that actually came with some of these old Mopars.

[Young Ed]

That and the jack/pouch is what I have in my 48 too.

The original wheel chock is in my 48 D25 and is wood and is stamped "wheel chock."

The original wheel chock is in my 48 D25 and is wood and is stamped "wheel chock."

I don't have either the jack or wheel chock. However, the picture in the parts book of the P15 shows the wheel chock. It looks like a wooden block too, not metal.
