I'd like to find a picture of the "stock" tire carrier to see what one looks like.

The man finally brought it home on the flatbed about 7PM, and after putting air in all four tires, I got to work on it by taking out the seat, opening both doors, and letting the pressure washer do it's thing.

I learned from my experience cleaning out my '46 2 ton that years of dust and mouse crap kicks up pretty easy in the air, so a little more wiser this time around, I used the pressure washer.

Not only did the moisture keep the dust to near 0 level, it did one heck of a job cleaning it out.

After the pressure wash treatment, I sprayed the heck out of just about everything that moves with WD40. By the time I got done with all that it was dark.. so i'll wait to take pics till tomorrow and post 'em.

Under the seat I found what appears to be the original jack, which was a pretty cool bonus I hadn't expected.


an idea is only stupid if you think about it rationally.
