Ryan , hate to bug you, but if you get a chance , could you post up the demensions of those crates?
Looks like your going to be in the Gasket Business.
Wow!

Haines - I knew you would get a kick out of those. Here's the rough dimensions. If you ever get so bored you want to make exact replicas on your own I can give you more precise measurements. I still have not opened the smaller crate. Maybe Jimmy Hoffa is in that one. And GMC - I think it's somewhere in the neighborhood of 700 gaskets. I should be well stocked for awhile.  |

That is beyond super cool! I can't believe you were able to open one. I was just going through my own mental stress thinking about if I had an unopened time capsul like that...I don't think I would be able to disturb it. Lol
And yes, HG...I instantly thought of the 170 pallets STILL sitting in my front yard.
I had an "oh, sh!t" moment scrolling through the pics, Ryan. I thought the close up of the tag read "Willis". Hahaha.
Thanks for sharing the excitement of the find.

The glare makes the Y look like an I. Geesh! Just go back to studying the boxes, HG.
I am just amazed that unopened 60 year boxes still exist!

The tag definitely read "W-I-L-L-I-S". No doubt in my mind.  And I did squirm a little over the decision to open the crate. They survived 60+ years and are only original once...but I couldn't resist and out came the tin snips and pry bar. The smaller one remains intact.... |

Zoom in...definitely a Y. But I would really love it if even the employees had such a hard time! The Ford guys never had issues.
