You don't see em like that anymore.
How is the sparevtire well setup? Is yours relatively original? Always been curious to see a stock setup as I have no clue how Ford stowed the tire iron with the spring in it
If I remember correctly that spring on the tire iron held the factory lug nut lock to the tire iron.
Dang Chris, we need a Melvin Award for times like this. Good jobOn top. Against the rear most side of the trunk with the curved part of the handle down between the tire and rear/side of the spare tire well.

Wow. You still have those? Incredible. Do you drive them?
Yeah, I get that. This isn't dirty talk here, but I'm a bigger fan of the '69.The two Bosses belong to my dad.He has owned them both for over 20 years.
He drives the 70 on occasion. The 69 doesn't get driven much
My grandpa sold cars for ford back then and I still remember them new.
