Vintage tools for a vintage truck
Borrowed some 40+ year old tools to work on my almost 50 year old truck. I hit up Dad for these, the timing light was a Christmas gift to him when I was knee high.
Share some pictures of your vintage tools

Re: Vintage tools for a vintage truck
I still have some like that and use them often. I cant seem to find the diagnostic plug in in my vintage trucks. Life was a lot simpler in those days.

Re: Vintage tools for a vintage truck
I still use the Sears timing light that my brother gave me, he bought it in 1967.

Re: Vintage tools for a vintage truck
Hopefully this catalog can help identify some tools in the old toolbox that no one knows what they are.
