Looking at the judging sheet I found I need the following things....Owners manual,jack with instructions,(tools) grease gun,screwdriver,pliers,2 open end wrenches,hubcap wrench,jack handle,adjustable wrench,spark plug socket,crank,ballpene hammer and a toolbag to hold tools.Thanks for any help you can give to help me find a source to purchase these things from....Jim T

Jim,
The tools included in '28 Chevrolets are published in the Canadian 1928 Chevrolet Owners Manual. Listed are: "... one starting crank; one spark plug wrench; one auto jack; one auto jack and demountable rim nut wrench, combination handle; one hand tire pump; one hub cap wrench; one ten ounce hammer; one adjustable auto wrench; one pair 6" combination pliers; one 8" screwdriver; one grease gun; one wrench No. 27; ...

I have never seen an official reference to a tool bag for the late 20s and early 30s Chevrolets. I know that many assume that a bag was supplied as they were supplied in the teens and 40s and later.

Hi Jim. I saw this and thought you might want to take a look. He has some things you might be interested in???? I don't know what is a good price on this stuff...

Sometimes stuff on Ebay can be a ripoff so check prices before you buy anything Good luck at the national meet! Got any pictures of your '28???

the adjustable wrench was 9" the truck jack is different to the car jack(aprox 1 1/4" taller with a flip toe ) and there was also a rim expanding tool 30x5

Since Jim's truck is a bread truck built on a passenger car chassis it would have the passenger/ 1/2 ton tools and jack.

Chipper,this is all still a new to me. I have to disagree once again. We have a wheal from a 1928 car and the spokes are larger on the truck than the car so I would conclude that the tools shoud be for the truck. Thanks for your help....Jim

To be technically correct the wheels for the AB 1/2 ton truck and AB passenger cars are not the same. The 1/2 ton wheels have larger spokes. But the wheels of both are vastly different as is the chassis, springs, axles from those of the LO or LP 1 ton truck (more commonly though of when the word truck is used). If you get the jack for the 1 ton truck you will be dissapointed. If you get the tools and jack for the passenger it will also be correct for the 1/2 ton truck as the tools for all AB models are the same.

jack and handle for car and light commercial on ebay try 8042119019 hope that this helps jim
