Bill will hook you up, BUT you just might get a bad case of indigestion. I'll admit, he's been uncharacteristically cheerful lately, though.

I usually keep some Carters Liver Pills close by, in case he turns rogue.

Though they've been defunct for years, I was wise enough to stock up as soon as I met Bill.LOL!

O.k., Steve, another quiz (sorry for the thread-jack):

What were Carters Pills commonly referred to as?

No fair Googling. If you don't know, Gary will. NumberDummy, don't help them please.

Honestly, without mr google, I don't know. I do remember they were in a little metal green tin container. Do I get any points for that? They were often mentioned in jokes by comedians back in the day!

Uh huh...
First time I heard what the pills were jokingly referred to was from my dad...who was born in Medford MA

Look up meteorism in the dictionary, then fill in the blank with the apropos slang word: Carter's little ______ starters.

Whiz thru Germany, you'll see road signs that say: Eingang (enter) and Ausfahrt (exit).

Larry,

One idea would be to find a good used one. Some of the parts to rebuild are pretty expensive. I spent $450-500 to rebuild one. Too bad you aren't closer. I pulled a very good complete steering box from a F600 farm truck. With the new road safety specs around here farmers are selling these trucks and if you can get them before they go to the crusher you would be able get a decent box. Good luck.
