@L.R.S. I thought the same thing.
I bought it from an "old dude" who was closing up his hot rod shop. it was in El Cajon by the airport & he had been in business for >40 years. He said he had it for 40 years (or something close to that) & he got it used. He said he had to put a bottle jack into it every 10 years or so. LOL. the hardest parts was finding springs that were not crap. old ford expert. Model A's & T's. super cool guy.
