I have apparently afflicted my eldest with my disease.

I helped him drag this home this afternoon.

A 60s or 70s hard side popup camper.

It should be a pretty cool project.

Let me know when you invent a "crank the top up assist device". It wasn't so tough when I was a youngster. It sucks now.

Once in a while something different pops up in the maintenance shop. Yesterday there was this 1968 International in for service.

I once asked a Ford parts counter guy if he had a set of hatch hinges for a 2003 Explorer…without taking his eyes off of me, he whipped a hand under the counter and plunked a box down in front of me faster than this guy could draw his trusty pistol.

Apparently, requests for those are not uncommon.

You really want to replace those Escape hatch hinges before they make the glass shatter.

In other news, Dorman is now making rear wheelwells for Escapes. Rusting out the rear wheelwell seems to be an all or nothing thing, either the truck will rust out there or it will be fine forever. Curious that I've only ever seen it on the right side, and only on models with the high end audio system.

You give me an idea for a side business. Dry desert metal parts for sale. Cost + shipping + $5 for my pocket.

May have to do with sound insulation that is stuffed into the cavity for the high end sound system. That was the case with Mustangs. Insulation attracted/held moisture.
