The tool is available at probably every auto parts store along with harbor freight. Here is the set from Harbor freight for $9.99. http://www.harborfreight.com/4-piece-windshield-door-trim-tool-set-38386.html

I remember, but there are a number of Larry's around here.

What Larry has a car Brian?

If you are talking about the ignition switch from the steering column, yes you will need to remove the steering wheel. You will need to have a couple of special tools to get to the switch. Here is a link that may help. http://www.keybitslockandkey.com/losangeleslocksmith/manual/gm/gmlock.htm

Agree

Global warming?

We are at the 7th snowest winter in Michigan. Got over 38 inches in Detroit metro area in January when according to the news usually get +- 12 inches. We have more snow coming in today.

You're Welcome. I'm just a simple guy for solutions.

I would have guessed late 60's to early 70's

This year the Cars "R" Stars show at the Historic Packard Proving Grounds in Shelby Twp Michigan will feature commercial vehicles as the show theme. The show this year will be on Sunday June 8th, 2014 at the Packard Proving Grounds on Van Dyke Rd in Shelby Township, Michigan. I am working with the show organizers and we are looking for trucks and commercial vehicles from each decade that are representative of the decade from 1900 to 1960. Here is a link to the Packard Foundation page with more information. http://www.packardmotorfdn.org/ Here is a link to last years show. http://www.sourcenewspapers.com/articles/2013/06/02/news/doc51a6720c3cb46511438956.txt And this year http://www.carsrstars.com/ Some of the trucks that they would like to have included are, Ford Model T Ford Model A Diamond T +- 1940 Cab Over either GM or Ford 1940's Ford F1 Late 1940's - early 1950's Chevrolet 5 window truck 1950's Chevrolet ElCamino Mack truck from the 20's or 30's Studebaker from pre WWII Pre WWII fire truck Corvair Rampside pick up DIVCO Milk Truck For sure any Packard Truck This is a partial list and if anyone has an interesting truck they would like considered, please let us know.

Please have interested individuals let me know that they are interested with contact information along with a picture and vehicle information.

Robert, You are close. You can come to one of our car club meetings here in Rochester Hills. Larry

I like bead blasting.

How about a 12 volt jump box? They usually have a cigar lighter plug.

Already have some reservations. :cool:

Leif, The left one is what I was thinking for the trim ring with the design like the cars. That is why I believe the headlights are not Buick. 30DodgePanel: Here are some pictures of my Buick truck. Mine is the green one. Four of the six pictures in the first line. https://www.google.com/search?q=1915+buick+truck&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=L47uUoH_CKPNsQTU_IG4Bw&ved=0CDgQsAQ&biw=1440&bih=731 Here is a thread on this site with a lot of discussion on Buick Trucks. http://forums.aaca.org/f115/buick-trucks-197297.html Larry

Oh yes Buick made trucks. What would you like to know about them? The lights above I do not believe are from a 1922 or 1923 truck. A 1922 would have that ornamental trim ring on the front like the cars of the era. They are for sure not from any trucks in the teens.

Great news.

Tom, Here is your picture. This looks almost identical to my '15 truck. The way that I fixed it was to determine the inside diameter of the center circle with the two holes in it. Go down to the local muffler shop and get a piece of muffler pipe to the length that you need the muffler to be. Then attach the pipe to that end with some rivets. You should have a piece that fits into the other end with a stud. You attach that piece to the other end of the pipe. You will need to drill some holes about 3/8 " in this pipe. Then go to a good wood stove store and get a piece of stove pipe that is the diameter of the outside lands. You can use the type of stove pipe that you snap together, but I purchased a piece that was welded. Cut the stove pipe to the length needed for the muffler. You should have the other end of the muffler with a hole in the center that slips over the plug with the stud. Put the stove pipe in location, install the other end, and bolt it together. I hope this is clear.

Here is where you can buy that circuit breaker. http://www.mscdirect.com/product/65139677

Might try the state or local historical society. Here in Michigan you can get a historical marker or plaque for a site or building. Do not know the current process here though. Here is the link to Michigans program. http://www.michigan.gov/dnr/0,4570,7-153-54463_54475_18654---,00.html

COOL

TJDV, These were "stove Pipe" mufflers. If you post some pictures of what you have I can tell you (and a number of others of us) how to put it together. The reason the were called stove pipe mufflers was that the body use stove pipe on the cast or stamped out ends. I just fixed the muffler on my '15 and '17 last year. Larry

Jeff, They are made from stainless steel. Here is a link that talks about the process that is used to make them. http://www.americanarrowcorp.com/html/content_page.php?content_id=21&nav_id=3& Larry

The ornament is a Peerless automobile about 1928 and called the Peerless Eagle. Here is a link for a reproduction made by The American Arrow Co in Clawson, Mi. They do top shelf work and then some.
