Our first "new" truck, a 4 x 4 ford. We were camping next to a river. Steep bank to get down there but that truck had no problem. I got a call and had to run into work - left the truck for the wife and took her car that was parked at the top of the hill. When I got back I noticed the many dents all in a row in the truck - up the box, over the roof, down the hood...and the broken windshield.
Her story (as was our sons) was that a newer Buick Riviera had decided if that truck could get down there, so could they...and they did, but couldn't get back out and asked her to help. She hooked the chain to the hitch of the truck and told them to hook it where they wanted on their car. (Good girl)
They hooked it to the front bumper. She had the bumper about half ripped off when the exhaust on the car got hung up about half way up the hill. They told her to "Give it hell-what could it hurt?" That was when the bumper came off the car and up and over the top of the truck. The dents and broken windshield on the truck were from the chain. She couldn't leave them there on the middle of the hill or we couldn't get back down to to pull the camper out. So, with their begging and pleading she backed down again and they hooked the chain to their frame. It took a couple "yanks" she said, but the car finally came up the hill. They had to walk back down and pickup the exhaust that was laying there - at which point the one grabbing it burnt their hands on it. She said it was quite a sight watching that car go off down the two track with the bumper and exhaust hanging out of the back of the trunk and the car going "kind of sideways"...
Wish I'd been there that day!

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
