Continued.

Brake backing plate adjusting hole grommets.

[IMG][/IMG]

[IMG][/IMG]

Need a winch control data plate? (there's a ton of fording plates, too, but that is all the plates I found)

[fishtail]

Here is some of what I got.

Air cleaner, old style, in box on top, gas tank anti-squeak welts, plywood seat bottoms.

[IMG][/IMG]

Frame length fuel lines.

[IMG][/IMG]

Winch shear pins, brake backing plate grommets, transfer case shifter handle boots, tie rod dust boots.

[IMG][/IMG]

A pair of tie rods with ends. Can't buy one Moog end for the price of a left/right combined here.

[IMG][/IMG]

A pair of fuel lines from engine. One dirty one is my original.

[IMG][/IMG]

Last original choke cable I could find there.

[IMG][/IMG]

All in all, it was worth the trip again. Takes 6 hours to get there, all by 4 lane highway. Got pretty hot in those containers. I'd suggest not going in the summer at all.

Enjoy the pics.

Calling VPW in the morning. I see some things I need . Thanks for the pictures. Ed

[kyken]

Great job as usual Scott!

[jeepdriver99]

Great haul. I need a diffuser box with fresh air cables.

[fishtail]

Installed the choke cable on my M715, replaced an old black knob cable. Also removed the old transfer case lever boots and installed two new ones. NOTE: heat to boiling the new boots and spray the shaft with WD40 and they slip right on.

I did NOT find in the containers:

Inner door panel fastener clips
Heater hose "J" pipes
Defrost cables
Ambulance rear dome lights
Brown recluse spiders

I did climb deep into the mystery container. It contains more leaf spring packs, seat frames, door vent windows, exhaust pipes and late style air cleaner rubber hoses.

Feel free to call. Tell them Scott sent you.
