Thanks for sharing OP some really cool stuff. Learned a bunch looking into some of it. Shock fluid was before my time but lead my to this which I thought was interesting. Guys in budget restricted classes doing clever stuff.

Looks like there were shocks/struts you could disassemble up into the later 90s?

It's actually still done today, as your link shows, but usually in racing applications to either try to improved handling for cheap on specific cars. Notice that the second oil replacement in that test effectively doubled the rebound force.

I love seeing vintage stuff like that. There's a facebook page called "Ford Motorsport SVO Racing buy and sell" that is dedicated to vintage Ford products. Its pretty interesting.

Pretty cool stuff! Thanks for posting!

that door latch grease is the best stuff on market!!!!!

I'll be going through some more stuff tonight. Saw some old Motorcraft plugs, PCV valves, relays, stator, switches etc, all still in the boxes.

What an automotive treasure trove of neat stuff from the past. Who knows what else you're going to find.

it’s like a time machine

Yeah, from what I was reading it works but usually blows the seals in short order.

Here is a sneak peek into one of his cabinets. All sorts of OEM part #s in there.

I don't think it would all fit.
He had some old oil cans as well (oilzum, kendall etc).

Some pretty cool old stuff. When I was service manager at our Ford store we had an old guy that did all the new car PDI's. He faithfully used a Ford-branded window slide lube on all the windows. Well, Ford discontinued this stuff and the old tech about lost his shit. Don't see a lot of that type of brand loyalty anymore.

What does the tach fit?

I'm not sure yet. I haven't ventured into that cabinet yet. I'm thinking it's more of a Sunpro tach maybe?

Looking for some help on a few hubcaps, and this roof rack/luggage rack.
Can anyone place the car with the hubcap? How about that luggage rack? It is roughly 24"x36".
