NOOB Q... Where the &@*# is the Tire Iron?

[jb3t]

Dumb, total noob question. I have a 1978 C-10 big 10 pick up. Was cleaning the wheels today when the valve stem's decided to give way. Brittle as hell. So, I put the truck up on jackstands and went to take off the tires and lo and behold… I can't find the darn tire iron. I'm wondering if I'm missing something or just not there.

Can anybody tell me where the tire iron is typically located? In the engine compartment on the pass side inner fender is the original jack and the jack handle (looks like it's 6ft long) but no sign of the iron. Little help?

Thanks.
