Ask John about the plunger as a driver's door lock.... | | | | | Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 3,599 Moderator | | Moderator Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 3,599 | Been there for the make shift door opener.
Straight blade screw driver works good.
same screw driver will also work good on starting an old bolt at the starter.
Don't ask me how I know!
Safe travels people!

Nice job of getting everything situated on the trailer. That's a lot of straps!

If whomever John is delivering that stovebolt to they want some possible information, have them get a hold of me. God speed to John, Amtrak Joe, et. al. making a road trip to KC. I hope to meet up in KC someday. Have fun. See some of you in Winchester later this month and plan on a side trip to look at the work being done on my '52'Burb for those up to a visit to a Winchester restorer. Thanks.

We need to talk, I started running G&L's bars when I was about 22.
Still run a little 4" bar at work
Love old iron and thanks for saving a piece of history.

They must have liked our rig because they parked us smack in front of the hotel here. Had a nice chat at dinner with a fellow 3rd MarDiv alumni. Also had a great chat at the WV welcome center with an older gent who recognized everything about the trucks and told us some stories of his own. It was really cool. Joe has been a world class swamper! And I can leave it to him to explain the combination toilet plunger/driver door lock/fuel cap ...   "If it's stupid but it works, it isn't stupid." The 9500 is running like a happy truck! John

I'll catch you on the return trip. Let me know as soon as you discover which, if any, parts you'll need this time...

Truck was sold to a fellow 'Bolter. Grigg -- Hopefully none on the return trip  Scott Ward helped with the offload -- his rollback had a very nice winch that came in very handy.

Looks like the 53 is going to a good home, nice shop too! I was a little worried it'd be lonely without another AD truck to snuggle with. Looks like it'll have plenty of company.
