The tires on my truck were old and since I have a frame swap planned for next spring to go to a 3/4 ton I really did not want to buy new tires for the front,the tread was good and not really cracked so I took off for Cleveland Ohio to pick up a 62 COM trans and north of Columbus one loses air so time to put the spare on.   Jack is froze up and even though the spare held air it had two nails in it so I borrowed a jack and limped to the next town and got a pair of cheap new tires and continued my trip,I know I used that jack a couple years ago but this time it looked like it had been laying on the bottom of a lake and the spare came from a truck I parted out but probably did not look over too closely since it held air.   Made for a exciting day and something to laugh about after I got home,from now on I will have to make sure those factory jacks are oiled up and used frequently but this truck how has a well oiled scissor jack behind the seat and I need to find a better spare..
