Slick 60's

just something I like to "collect"... picked these up this weekend at the Flea Market...


anybody else collect old tools??

Yeah, but I don't neccesarily do it for fun. I use my antiques. Back just after I was married, I had no tools at the time. I neede to pull the transmission and overhaul the motor. All I had was some sockets similar to what you have there, but it used an allen wrench for ahandle, and no ratchet. It was tough doing an overhaul with what I had. the transmission had a torque tube over the drive shaft and you hadd to line the splines up exactly in the right place to get the drive line back together. Couldn't be even one tooth off, or it wouldn't go together. I had pulled the rearend back with a bumper jack to seperate drive tube and shaft from the tranny. I took the taranny to a shop and had it worked on, and put it back in by myself sweating blood, then had to take it bakc out and redo it as it wasn't right. I was eighteen at the time and my wife was pregnant . I made 239$ a month working for the state. Checks came out once a month sometime between the first and tenth of the month by mail. You never knew when you were going to get your check. Things would get pretty hungry sometimes if the check came out on the tenth. I actually had bought a set of tools when I was 16 but when Mom and Dad moved away, I gave my tools to Dad. I eventually got the tools back as Dad gave these back to me later.

No matter how many tools you already have,there is always a tool you dont have to do a certain job.
