Re: Petit jean

The fall meet is pretty small. Not much T stuff. Just mostly will be a part here or there. But you never know who may be bringing Dads or Grandpa's hoard to sell. I always go but, I live about 55 miles away. If driving far probably not worth the trip for T stuff.

Re: Some more Chickasha pics and finds

The Grade-O-meter or Incline-O-meter were also sold to automobile owners. I have seen them in some of my vintage camping catalogs. We do vintage camping and show our T and antique camping gear at modern overland camping expos or rendezvous. We will mount this grade-o-meter on our T to be one more of...

Re: Final set of Chickasha pictures

Adam, I agree. The attendance is off, but I have never went and not sold enough to pay for the spaces and trip, as well as making enough to get everything I bought basically free. We camp on the spaces, so we are there every minute available to shop and sell. I have sold stuff as late as 10.30 PM. S...

Re: Some more Chickasha pics and finds

I think Steve did pretty good. The last two pic are of our truck and trailer and Steve just before he started to load up. We left about 2:15 Saturday. Steve, Gene French, US, and a guy from Colorado were the last ones out. We shut the door. I have said for many many years that the vendors who leave ...

Anyone interested in another 6-year long project :) thats how long it took to do the last one I did o...

As usual I found my treasures after climbing in the trailers, digging deep, while most folks were standing beside the trailer just looking at me di...

Re: Correct front engine mount for a 1927 Touring

The photo TRDxB2 shows above is the complete and correct 26-27 assembly. The TT truck has larger diameter studs on the Y-bracket. I believe they are 11/16 from memory. The steel plate with the two U-bolts is an aftermarket accessory. When the Y-bolt style with 2 nuts came out to replace the earlier ...

Re: Wanted, running board tent bed.

Linus, We already have a nice umbrella tent that we actually use. It sets up quick and the canvas part stores nicely in the rear floor board. The tent poles are in a canvas roll and are the exact length of the rear bumper on the 27 touring we use for vintage camping. I mostly want a running board te...

Wanted, running board tent bed.

I would like to find a running board tent bed. There were a few different manufactures of them but most are similar to each other. The ones I have seen photos or ads for usually are a light metal framework that folds down into a compact shape that fits on the running board. When erecting the unit it...

Re: unusual "Stevens" tool, guess what it is. specifications added to post

Here are the specs for the cam bearing splitter. I had to use my camera because my scanner was hit by lightening :( The first pic shows up pretty good, but I made three close ups just in case it was hard for someone to read the first photo. The double head rivet is a loose sloppy fit so the 2 halves...

John. Sounds like you did a good job. I also figured welding two square or rectangle pieces together would be the easiest way to fab it. Sorry about taking so long to get the specs done. I have the drawing done and most of the measurements on it. But it seems like everything on the farm needed fixed...
