And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
We had an old Willys jeep at the hunting camp with a steering wheel like that because the porcupines ate the rubber off of it. They did a good job on the tires as well. Klaus
It looks a lot like the 70 one ton GMC we had on the farm. It had a 400 CI engine that was not up to the job. That one and the 78 GMC that dropped two engines and blew 5 head gaskets in the first 10 k miles swore me off GM trucks for over 25 years. The 05 GMC one ton Dirtymax broke the frame at 12 years and 320k miles. The drivetrain was solid but during a tire change when the truck was lifted the frame snapped. I parted it out.
I see the brake pedal, and I see what is left of the gas pedal (a little nub), but what is the next thing over to the right? Is that what sets the emergency brake? Or all that is left of what sets and releases the emergency brake?

ReplyDeleteAnna I paid your campanion's mother $70 for hugs, kisses and more, but all I got was an hour of saliva spittle nagging.

I have a lot of time behind steering wheels like that.
ReplyDeleteI wonder where the rest of the gas pedal went?

ReplyDelete3 on a tree was my favorite. Had a bunch of cars and trucks with the 4 or 5 speed on the hump but really liked the three on the tree.
