Jack and lug wrench location in P-15

[Bill Ford]

Where does the Jack and lug wrench go in the trunk? Did they come in a bag? Could not find how I could wedge them in the tire well? Does anyone have a picture?

[Young Ed]

Mine are in a canvas pouch

Actully, I'm not sure they designated a specific place for the jack and lug wrench in

the P15. Have seen a couple cars for sale where they had the jack in a cardboard

box of appropriate length.....said this was how it came.

So, I think you need to invent your own place for them.....somewere around the

spare tire. I wedge mine in there somehow.....even wrap it in an old towel to

prevent rattling.

If I had one I would slide it in behind the spare tire. I wouldn't use one if I had it. I keep a flor hydraulic jack in mine with a star wrench and a Mopar approved wheel chock.

Greg......I also have a small floor hydraulic jack. But, it does not go high enough to

get my rear wheels off the ground..... My springs are surely kinda weak, and the

wheel/tire drops down quite a ways when raised.

I end up using a combination of the floor jack with a couple pieces of 2 x 4 on top,

plus the bumper jack to finish it up.

The 49-52 cars have a system for holding it. There is a cradle for it and a spring mount and the jack is raised enough to put tension on the spring holding it all in place. The p15s dont seem to have a device like this

My jack is still in the the box it came in. The box lay's in the trunk cross ways behind the rear seat.

original "jack in the box" first thing that popped in my mind when I read your post...

however that is fantastic to have the original box after all these years..I bet if you could duplicate that you could find a market large enough to make it worthwhile.

[BobT-47P15]

Maurice - do you have a plant that makes boxes in your area??

You might ask them what would it take to get some copies of that

box made.

The problem might be the quantity they would need to produce.

And/or cost to set it up. Would seem like a good idea to reproduce,

though.

[BobT-47P15]

Well, here's a thought for those creative folks out there.

There is probably a box from some other product that would just happen

to be about the right size and shape for the jack. The creative part would

be to create a sign for the outside of the box saying something like "Mopar Parts"

or Plymouth Jack, Model P15.......or probably anything along that line you want

to say. The general public would probably not know it wasn't original.

Maurice......could you take a couple pictures of the box and post them??

What are the dimensions of the box?

[BobT-47P15]

As you may or may not know, there was a tool kit available for the P15s

(and probably others). Shown in the parts manual. It was made from a

cloth material.......possibly a canvas type.....and could be duplicated

fairly easily.

In addition, they showed these items separately.

The entire page.....

Maurice, how about posting the dimensions of your jack box so we can try making our own? Thanks in advance.
