1 Surplus tires and truck there for. 9.00x16 Michelins.
2 M101 spare tire mount. Specifically to allow access to the M101-0 trailer brake handles. Allows spare to ride up with the box when using the trailer's dump feature (not recommended, use caution, possible damage to tail gate and a-frame) Will also fit the -A1,-A2,-A3 models.
3 The truck my father, Leon Kuchinskas was in on Tinian, when it got hit by an unexploded bomb, launched from an explosion in a neighboring revetment. Leo's "valiant efforts, coolness and quick thinking" earned him the Soldier's Medal for rushing in to the burning revetment, tearing the burning clothes off of two soldiers, and rushing them to the aid station. The two men eventually recovered.
4 Copy of Leo's commendation, 2nd full paragraph
5 Homebrew beer. Gluten Free, Malted Oats and Sugar the main ingredients.
Plus, the Corny keg I cut down to fit the refrigerator's shelf. Handy to have a TIG welder in the garage.

12 Stock was too short, I suppose the previous owner was too? So I made this one, to suit me. 14 1/2" length of pull. Black walnut, Spar Varnish, rubbed in as if it was oil.
13 Pretty nice piece of walnut, from right next to a knot in a piece out of the bin at the local hard wood store. Cost all of $19, and I still have some nice stuff from the other side of the knot. Hand gun grips maybe? About 10 hours work.
14 Fiddleback Maple stock that I made for my Model 50 Winchester auto loading shotgun.
15 Different lighting, shows the semi-gloss of hand rubbed oil finish.
16 Myrtle wood stock blank, compared to OE style M14 stocks. Ought to fit.
