When will you have enough material to make a nice book from your collected data? Maybe do it together with all our nice forum members.

A book?  Another 20 or 30 years before I know what some of these old timers know.     It takes time.....

Very good information.  One question, other than the Mag Star handle, is the change over date known for the standard handle design(13/16")?

As to our 68 Shelbys, should we conclude that either of the 2 folding designs presented for 68s could have delivered or just the AUSCO which is stated as being "mostly seen in Metuchen built cars in or around 1968?"

Tremendous effort in researching and publishing the jack handle data, appreciate the article and look forward to more.

The bull nose is by far the most common for a 1968 Shelby 😄

Very late at least at San Jose. The reason being I have seen a number of very late 67 Shelby's which had the tear drop style lug wrench.

The angled off end 71-73 jack handle type identified in marcus guide article is used in the 1970 dearborn mustangs anyway replacing the 69 rounded off end jack handle from what i seen over the years having many low mile 70 b9s in our shop over the years.
