I like Bob's response.  Is there a way for the OP to post the resolution to his problem and have it at the top of the post?
  I believe if the OP does a quick edit to the first post with the resolution, it will show at the top of the thread with his first post.

I have two, TWO threaded jacks!! They were standard option on Model T Fords. :)) Oh, they have buttress thread like the big guns on our ships.
Don't remember how I ended up with them but think it was when a buddy was hauling worn out cars to the salvage yard in South Beloit, WI. I would look thru them and find tools of all kinds, along with money under the back seats.

But, are they square threads?

That is what a buttress thread configuration is, altho the British have a slightly different shape (typical British thing).
There are/were people that just called the thread form a square thread altho the proper name for most "square"thread forms in the US are buttress.
As a tool engineer I had encountered many thread forms when I was designing machines for customers.

In my more mean days,  I sent a new paint associate on a hunt for camouflage spray paint.
Mean,  I know.
Funny as heck.
