"Solid State, Stereo 8"! Kinda just rolls off the tongue, don't it? Don't recall ever seeing an RCA branded 8-track player from this era. Wonder if the guts are the same as a Tenna or Audiovox?
Piece of a rubber bladder out of an engine oil tank out of a fighter plane. I removed the bladder from the tank . I plan on using the tank for a gas tank some day .
Picked up this sweet Champion Spark Plugs garage cabinet for $20 just minutes from home. Most cabinets are rusty, greasy or covered with GabrielHi-Jacker stickers! This one was so nice, I couldn't pass it by.
Recently I showed my son the Snap On rachet rebuilt while I waited. Well, a couple days ago, he spotted this 3/8 swivel head laying in the road. Recognized the head shape and went back for it. Said he was going to pass it up but the shape caught his eye. Some mechanic must be pissed.
I found 2 Pickering steam engine governors at my uncle's place. I am not sure what I'm going to do with them yet but they are cool!!
Guy had a 62 390 caddy with trans for $250. Turned the axle was under a truck the owner is doing an s10 swap. I took a chance at 300 for the set up
Friend of mine bought this small block 4 speed car. Birdcage is gone but par for the course for most of these something busted the back glass and body he’s ordering a new glass so I can fix this first
So this was the haul from this weekend’s swap meet. A goodyear fan belt hook, 34 taillight, old ashtray- any idea about year and model? A snap on tool box, and then a Moriarity inspired purchase- a pair of new in the box “King Bee” five inch truck mirrors- apparently they couldn’t live by headlights alone.
Don’t think perfection is the goal for this one I wouldn’t even paint it if it were mine. Fix the rust and make it go and stop.
You got that right ! Heard it many times “ balls out “ 110% over run . At that moment you really hope the fireman laborer did the last hydro test correctly . Worse issue I ever experienced was blowin a tube at balls out limit . Took about 3+weeks before I had a normal crap again.
Friend just bought this 265 for $200 also got the starter, gen and air cleaner. I could have bought it but I’m stupid sometimes.
Any idea what brand these are? Made in Occupied Germany, tool or part of a car tool kit? Thank you! Bob
