Ah yes, John, thanks for reminding me. Since temporarily retiring the '68 
T-all from commute duty a few weeks back, I've been needing to transfer the 
spares kit to the B pickup. Trouble is, in the T-all it occupied 2 of the 
mentioned bins. All your stuff plus a bunch of wood blocks, coveralls(VERY 
handy), timing light/dwell meter, points/plugs/cap/rotor/cond.,spare fuel 
pump, tire plug kit, belts, hoses/hose splice kit, enough oil & tranny 
fluid for complete changes(no, I don't carry the couple of gallons of 90w 
it would take to do both D44's and a NP-202;)),and one of those 6gal R-maid 
water jugs for a total loss cooling emergency. Guess I better consolidate, 
'cause just 1 of those bins is gonna fill the passenger floor space in the 
p/u. Hmmm, maybe I can rig a cup holder on top....only place I can put my 
coffee now is wedged under the seat, not real handy. Dang, what's next...a 
radio? Go on...
