After about 15 minutes of hiking and lugging the tool bag I was
exhausted...the roads felt like they would never end. But, if you like old
vehicles it's
almost like entering heaven. It feels like stepping back in time 40 years.
The place is full of treasures. Absolutely no order to anything....all brands
mixed together although the trucks seemed to be in bunches in different
places.
I'm still not sure I saw every road. The place really could use a map. I got
so winded hiking up the mountain and then through the woods to look at this
vehicle and that vehicle that I decided to set my tool bag down on the edge
of the road. I figured I'd come back and get it if I needed tools. Big
mistake. It took me 20 minutes to find the tool bag later. I couldn't find the
right
road. Anyway, I was like a kid in a candy store for 4 hours. Sun out, warm
weather and all alone on the mountain with the old vehicles. I got 2
alternator brackets ($5 for the pair) and a few, small misc. things (no
charge). And,
this long winded account does have a point......
There is a mail delivery Jeep, right hand drive. The rear end is completely
intact. Guy said he'd remove the whole rear end and put it in my truck for
$150. So, my questions are....were all of these mail Jeep positraction usable
in a Tiger? If not, what should I look for to identify it? Is this a decent
price? Also a guy who worked "on the mountain" said he thought it was 4 wheel
drive. I didn't check that. If it is, would there possibly be a usable posi
in the front too?
Thanks for bearing with me. For those of you who had to sit behind a desk
today, don't worry. Your retirement days will come:-)
