Maybe you wouldn't but these truck were tools, and disposable tools at that, and a lot of people used and abused them.

I bought a car with bald tires and I had new wheels/tires but under the centercaps were locking lug nuts. I didnt think twice, I pounded every 21mm socket I had (3, and a 7/8 socket on the last one) over the locking lugs and twisted them off. 4 sockets cost less than the replacement key I wouldnt have used afterwards and the 2 minute solution was right there in my toolbox. Maybe in 60 years someone will find those sockets in the dump and wonder why I was so wasteful.

I dont know why someone carved up your air director but I bet it saved time. looks like a wolverine has been gnawing at it!
