computer valve?
The other day I asked my aunt if she could call autozone to see if they had a radiator cap for my 67 VW bug. She calls and to my surprise they look it up and you know the rest, well now she is trying to get me back. So what are some things you have heard of.
Here is what I have
Radiator cap for old VW
Computer valve
firewall gasket
muffler bearing

Well just to be on the safe side, before you get in your truck I'd check my blinker fluid if I was you. Your aunt might of put the halogen kind in there for revenge...
A few years ago we told a teacher that their blinker fluid was running low or was out because she never turned on her signals while turning. Well as we were leaving school, guess who was outside looking under the hood at their lights..

I suppose someone has to mention the skyhook.
If you've ever worked in construction, you know there's always some job where what you really need is something up in the air to hold something up while you work on it. The old joke for apprentices (apprentii?) is to send them to the stores or the foreman for a skyhook.
Of course, most have then been told the story of the smart-*** apprentice who knew there really was such a thing as skyhook - it's a brand of 10-tonne crane - and went and ordered one just to show his boss up. Then got fired when it showed up at the site charging $500 per hour.

But my favorite has laready been mentioned--Blinker fluid!
A buddy of mine and I back in high school got a girl to go to Wal Mart and say she needed blinker fluid for her 80's something Firebird. It was quite funny the next day when she came in and said the guy at Wal Mart told her she'dhave to go to a GM dealer to get blinker fluid for a GM vehicle. Apparently the guy at Wal Mart knew the joke and played it on her too!

that muffler bearing needs to have the muffler belt changed with it... If someone throws the old muffler bearing out at you, though, you can give it back to them and say that there is such a thing as a muffler bearing... back in the 70's Mack listed the turbo as their muffling device, so then the muffler bearing was an actual part for a Mack truck... the turbo bearing!
