Wayne, I took one off of my truck. My '59 came from Nebraska and had this
thing with an electric cord and a water faucet on it. I have no idea if it
works or not. I don't need it in Texas. I'll find it tonight (if I still
have it) and see if it has any brand name or something on it. Maybe plug it
in and see if it works.
