He might resent you from the previous deal gone bad. That could cause him to act unreasonably if you made an offer now. Perhaps you could use an intermediary to purchase the truck on your behalf.

I am in agreement with everyone else here, it is a beautiful restoration. With a wiring job this complex, to what degree can you test the wiring as you go along? Can you switch on individual subcircuits as you complete them to verify that they function correctly? Or do you wait until the...

I have never dealt with screws on a deuce, but generally, my favorite weapon of choice for removing stubborn Phillips head screws is a brace and bit with a 1/4" hex-bit adapter chucked into it. The advantages are 1. Easy to apply lots of downward pressure on the screw head to avoid cam out 2...

Well, it would seem to depend on the food. This table gives oil production in units of gallons/acre for various crops. Not only land area but all inputs to production, such as fuel and labor, should be considered when comparing oil crops. But that table does suggest that there are better...

Bjorn, That is interesting. Could you elaborate on that point? - What is the evidence for that? - So then what is the deal with thermostatically-controlled electric fans if switching them off causes improper temp. distribution. Is that a misfeature? Or do the fans only switch off when a...

Bjorn, Here is the link to the youtube video. Is that helpful? - Allen

Bjorn, I did see one of those on youtube. It was a cgi animation demonstrating half axles flexing and comparing early and later model tatra tubular suspensions. I would search for that link for you but I am at work now where streaming video is verboten. If someone else here has not...

The ad says "barn kept". So maybe he shortened the bed to fit the truck into his barn? -Allen

The caption says "Earth borer drive shaft and universal joints." Is it is ok to rotate an earth borer at non-constant speed? If so, then then the phasing as pictured would be correct. - Allen

Does clarity indicate anything significant, such as geater purity or better quality? - Allen
