I'm in Sheridan, Oregon.  If you've never heard of it, it's about 30 
miles W-Nw of Salem; and 55 miles S-SW of Portland.  Unfortunantly the 
only breaker bar I can get is a 3/4" drive; and the socket is about 
$18. (in Sheridan).  If I'm going to purchase a socket for a wrench I 
don't own, I might as well buy the $30. star wrench at Napa.  That way 
I'd have it to keep.  Opening a museum is not cheap.  You guys restore 
one or two vehicles.  Imagine a couple of dozen, plus a monorail, 
locomotives, railcars, trollies, horse-drawn wagons, tractors, 
airplanes (when we get one), etc.  You can see why I'm not ready to 
fork over $30. for a wrench I'll use once every few years.

If any of you are near here, I'd really appreciate borrowing a 
15/16th.; or if you have a tow truck, or know how to free up the locked 
brakes, please come HELP!

We have been given a couple of 46 somewhat parted out chevy pickups; 
and any help getting them here from WA would make for some parts 
available for some of you.

How about hosting a truck pull as a fund raiser for your museum?

There are organizations which run those events and they are a lot of  
fun.

A classic truck show with trophies, cotton candy, sausages.  Lots of  
summer chrome.

Real Americana.

Most of the sockets and other tools I plan on rarely using, I get at the swap 
meet.  Can't go wrong there.   Bruce
