Boy, could I tell you some stories about tundra tires and the Alaska
tundra. Those stories tie in with the helicopter story I have to tell John
L. one of these days.  Nothing to do with either of those subjects but, I
took my Travelall into the IH dealer in Anchorage during the height of the
oil boom, couldn't get any warranty service (my vehicle would still run)
because of their obligations on the North Slope, except lube and oil change
by a high school kid. Cost me something like $125 in 1972.
