Always looking for what interests me, anything early Dodge Brothers/Graham Brothers trucks ( pre 1932 or so ) and slant six / Super six parts.

There's an old auto part store near me that's been closed ever since I can remember. You used to be able to see the full shelves for years until someone blocked off the windows. It would be a cool score to get in there.I'd say you made out.

>I cant find any link between Litton and Blackhawk. Will you please direct me?
It is a long and tortured road...

New Britain Machine bought Blackhawk Manufacturing in 1955

Litton Industries Bought New Britain assets (and thus the Blackhawk 'brand') in '72

National Hand tool co bought part of Litton's hand tool division in 1980

Stanley Works aquited National Tool in 1986...

Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.

Very nice car and looks like a proud new owner, Id like to get something I can drive and not have to worry about finding replacement parts for.
