grandpa sending gifts from the grave
My grandpa died March 28th in 2008, today, 7 years ago. I figured what better thing to do than start going through our semi trailers full of stuff. He was somewhat of a packrat, no not somewhat, he was a packrat!
They owned breaker cartige company back on the 70s, it was a small family owned and run trucking company. They sold it in 1980. We serviced our own trucks, so we had a huge parts stash. Nobody knew that he kept all the parts when they sold it. I found all the parts! All new old stock, all in the original package. There is tons of stuff! There is brand new tapered roller bearings, a spot light for when your truck breaks down on the road, electric fuel pumps, a small bottle of hydro fluid. There is 9 brand new tail light lenses for the trailers, all of them still in their original box, 6 are still in the display carton. 4 boxes of brand new headlight bulbs, 3 or them never opened! Fuel filters, oil filters, brand new stick on blind spot mirrors, turn signal flashers x-alot, wheel bearings, a new tube of form-a-gasket, 7 brand new Delco remy distributer caps. He has 22 of the filters o need for my ford 351 in my mastercraft! Yes 22! This is a roadside flare for when you break down, there is supposed to be batteries for them, the one thing he doesn't have! Lol Another one, this one branded international harvester co. I think this is the coolest thing yet! A holley governor 2bbl carb for the international loadstar truck we had! It needs rebuilt, luckily he has us covered! 3 rebuild kits! This just goes to show, being a packrat does pay off, just not right away. And to those of you that recommended rigid industries lights, thank you, I got 2 sets, they are ****ing awesome! This thing just looks mean! Wait till it has some mud on it! This is not a what is it worth add HE ATE MY ****ING GRAPENUTS!!!!!! I don't always drive a truck, but when I do, I drive a CHEVY. |
