Ultimate Junkyarding tool kit? OR Ultimate OH SH**! truck to

Posted by Eric B. on Friday, December 07, 2001 at 10:45AM :

I am planning what tools to take with me out west, and I was wondering what you guys had in your junkyarding tool kits.

For instance, I just learned recently (Thanks Ron!) that a #3 Philips screwdriver with the hex for a wrench near the handle is THE thing for pulling outside rear view mirror brackets.

I have always traveled to the junkyard with as many tools as I can stuff into my Car, Truck or Van, as I figured you never know what you may need.

But now I am trying to find a collection of tools that is not so bulky, and yet lets me get most everything off of a truck I may want.

This may also be your OH SH**! tool kit for your trucks, as you never know what you may need to fix while on the road.

So, here are my questions:

What is in your junkyarding bag?

What would you like to include but have never gotten around to including?

If you had the last PW on the planet, and you were driving from NY to CA, but could only take a few tools (5 or 6) what would you take?

What do you use for a tool box or bag that works the best? (I was planning on using a BucketBoss GateMouth)

I am planning on taking a few parts off of my 58 W100 as a test to see what I really need, but I welcome the wisdom of others!

Thanks!
