A ½-9/16 combo, screwdriver, and pliers will fix almost anything. And that they get attention. The other day I watched a guy leaving the convenience store in front of me. He was staring at my truck so hard that when he opened the door to his mini van he hit himself in the face with his door frame……

Yep back in the ole days you could go to Sears & Roebucks and buy you a set of tools for $10, $30 you was a master mechanic and could rebuild a small block with about six wrenches and a hammer. Now it takes that just to get the hood off and don't forget they have to be metric.
BTW that is a sharp lookin truck, love the stripes. That is one of my plans I have floating arounding in my head for my '69. I did one for a guy before with hugger stripes and he found some guy to do bucket seats he found and the door panels with the same type and pattern as a Camaro turned out cool.
