Dad bought a torque wrench at an auction, decent 70's craftsman, but I was more interested in the box itself
You must be registered for see images attach

I think I'm gonna frame it and hang it in the garage
Anyone else have stuff like this?

I used to have that exact same torque wrench, did my first top-end swap with it.

My timing light is an early 70's Sears unit, I still keep it in the original box. My dad bought it new.

Hoo boy. You've opened Pandora's box now...

I have that same torque wrench. I'll have to dig around and see what else I can find.

I've told dad that when he sees the crown top to try to get it when he goes to auctions
So far he's done pretty well

Though I've never looked either

My father has a collection of well over 1000 plates. Most of them are from Az. From 1916 to 1980. A majority of the plates he gave me were never issued (registered to a vehicle) and most of those are from 1969.

I am not a collector, just remodeling my mancave with gas an oil stuff. I too like the old advertising, especially automotive stuff.

Not automotive, but found this in my garage when I moved in.

I ended up installing the nozzle (but kept the box for display).

We're Tradin' Big on Every Chevy Truck

I used this old sales flyer in the video for my 1976 Chevy Truck. It's a little different from the standard dealer brochure as it was actually mailed out to prospective buyers. In any case, here are the scans if someone wants them.

Sorry, one last page.

Sorry, I forgot one of the scans.
