44 years-tools and box

I got this Army ammo can in 1966 and started buying tools.  The tools in this ammo box has touched:  BRC-40, MB/GPW, Cj2a, Cj3a, Cj3b, Cj5, FC-150, FC-170, WO Trucks, WO Wagons, Ford cars from yr model '41 to '61, Chevys from model yr '46 to '67 and others.
I say that to say, about all the mechanical tools you need to do about 85% of the restoration on an older jeep will fit in a Cal. 50 ammo can.

The brass welding rod all twisted into a "Tee"  and hook on the end, is a special tool I made before I got the can.  It's purpose is to retrieve all the innards of the front hub on a jeep without getting your fingers in the grease.

After removal, use the Tee Hook to convey the item to its holding area, until needed.

Bravo Johnny Cheesy
Would it make a difference if that brass hook contraption were a coat hanger refab, or is the brass specific to form and function??? Grin

During my rebuild I once commented to my wife that I now understood why the Jeep was so significant in the war, if a moron like me could take it apart, fix it and get it back on the road with 4 wrenches a screw driver and a hammer, imagine what a trained mechanic could do.  She said great, now we can sell the rest of the tools in the garage and get that new sofa and drapes I want. 

That didn't go so well... Undecided

YOU KNOW THAT WOULD BE A MAJOR DESIGN CHANGE AND WOULD HAVE TO BE APPROVED BY ENGINEERING. Shocked

IT AMAZES ME HOW THE WIFE CAN TAKE AN INNOCENT COMMENT AND CHANGE INTO A WAY TO GET NEW DRAPES, DISHES OR FLOWER ARRANGEMENTS.  THE ARE VERY CREATIVE. Roll Eyes 

...AND THEY WONDER WHY WE DON'T SAY MUCH Lips Sealed
