Score of the day!

my '75 W300 ClubCab Wrecker/Towtruck had an issue with the Clutch pedal when I hauled it home too.

The Brake & Clutch had rusted together under the dash and were real stiff. Push the clutch or brake and the other pedal traveled with it :oops: :D

Of course the rear brakes were hanging up and and the front brakes were dragging (it had been parked for 20 years) So I couldn't just drift it down off the rollback. I threw in a Points Distributor (since the stock dist was pretty fugly looking and the ignition box had been stolen) and it fired up with 20+ year old gas in the tank.

Did some really F'ed up pedal manuevering, anybody ever tried to drive a 4-Speed while using one foot to push the clutch pedal and the other foot to pull the brake pedal up? And then switch it around and use one foot to pull the clutch up while the other is on the gas. :wack: I did manage to get it off the rollback and into the garage under its own power like that.

Then when I got it in the garage, the lights showed me all the lovely goodies in the truck... When I say goodies I mean a nice big old snake skin wrapped around the E-Brake Release, another wrapped around brake pedal, several hanging from under the dash. I bailed out of the truck just in time to find one of those SOBs slither out from under the seat! Copperhead at that!
