Strange things you have found...
So since owning my F100 I have found load of strange things...one of which I will share tonight..
Pulled my sun visors off yesterday and discovered this. I had no idea for months that this is what is was...not until i took it apart. I laughed, my wife laughed..

I bet I know what happened. That is a reproduction non-padded visor (can tell by the color alone) and whoever replaced the originals couldn't get the stud on that end out of the originals so they improvised.
Vice grips around a cloth towel on the old one - and pull hard - they will come out.
Think of it this way - you scored a pencil!

Well being a junkyard junkie I have found everything imaginable in these trucks. I have seen house wire nuts used also I've seen household outlet plugs used for connections. Sort of like "plug and play."
Bailing wire duct tape and other stuff used. Here's one of my favorites.
Sorry for the blurr, I was laughing to hard to get the picture right.

I actually have the metal inserts that go into the visor so I replaced them. I had purchased two reproduction hangers that are chrome so I was installing them when I noticed something odd...

When in Home Depot I saw a rubber roof flashing that you cut the size hole you need so I bought it. Only reason I did is because they don't make one for my truck any more 81 F100 / T18.
As for strange how about this!
She also had babies.

Well I guess I can sort of chime in. I was at the boneyard with a buddy and he took apart greasy parts before getting his interior parts. Bare hands and black they were! He was at a loss so asked me to look around for any rags left in trunks. All I found were some left over fries so he started wiping. White hands and black fries!

Not too strange, but Skidoorulz reminded me of an 1895 silver dollar I found in my Jeep after mudding out at Folsom Lake in California.
Folsom Lake is a man made resivore that was flooded some time ago, it was a town at one point in history.
Anyway I was hosing out my Jeep and out washed this coin, after rinsing it off I read the date of 1895. I still have that silver dollar some 30 years later.
Another story but unfortunatly not mine. My brother's girlfriends dad who was an excop turned private detective died, so the family sold his car. The new owner came to the house a few weeks later, with 4 handguns that were hidden in the car. He asked the girlfriend if the family wanted them back. She said no he could have them. That was the end of that, she could have taken them back and given them to me.
She knows I love and collect guns. She did give me a sawed off single shot shotgun. Whether it's legal or not, i have no idea, it's never been shot by me.
