Yesterday I hit a few yard sales and I found a very nice K Ration crate!   Not sure of the Penzoil can, sale people said it's full, and yes there is something in it but not liquid  , may be a promo, or salesmans gift can with some goodies in it, very cool and I will not open it!, well worth the dollar investment.

THAT IS AWESOME!!!!!
Now the Penzoil, That's even cooler.
" Let me see how many of your men loyal, when I pull up looking for you with a pistol sippin. a can of Penzoil!"
You will never figure out that quote, but it is a real published song!
Love it, Great Finds!

The K rat box is simply amazing. If you ever want to get rid of it, send it south! I tried to reproduce one a few years ago. It's close, but not exactly right. When I do displays, I leave one piece of wood off the top and line the row with reproduction K ration boxes. I am wicked jealous of your box! Awesome find. I'll take consolation in the fact that it won't be firewood this winter.

Lee...what are the dimensions of the box? L x W x H I made one a long time ago, but I know it was a bit smaller than the originals. With all of my pallets, maybe I'll give it a go at making some more to fill up the back of the WC. |

In all reality, it should be YOU, oh handyman, that should be making these. You are more like Tool Time Tim. I'm cool like his sidekick, Norm.
And yeah...I might just make you a box.

Ill tell you what Bo Bo Piss The Members off Summer Ville...That's a take off of BO BO Brazil. Who knows who he was?
Bust some of those pallets you got up, break up the wood, and de nail it. You and I can get together in the near future, and I will bring my miter saw and Nail Guns...
We could probably together make 20 of these re pops, and manage to have lunch as well...
What do you think about that?
