Re: 55 years ago I was given this USAF 54 3100

yup, getting stuff fixed is bad enough trying to find a shop that knows how and is willing to do it right the first time. then there are the shoddy parts. the parts guys that don't like getting a hard time over prices have prolly already frustrated the customer with the aforementioned procedure of year, make, model, engine size, transmission type etc etc. all for looking up an interior light bulb or a wheel lug nut. haha
it's gotta be frustrating for the older parts guys, too, when a young buck comes in looking for something and he has no idea about any specs on his ride. i have seen that too. the parts guy does the eye roll and says, with a smile, he needs to know if it is a v6 or a 4 cylinder engine first, in order to find spark plugs. haha.
