   thats great , heres a personal willys ambulance story -- I bought my 51 sedan delivery in 1970 ? , 3rd one made that year , 473-2wd - got a good deal , $150 , a bag of pot and 5 hippie vitamin tablets -- later put the overdrive transmission in it -- heres the ambulance story -- in 1971 ? I drove it over towards the coastside on the SF peninsula with some drinking buddies to go hiking -- I parked it at the end of a county road west of skyline blvd - it was near famous rocker neil youngs ranch -- we went hiking on the ranch next door , turned out it was famous scientist carl djerassis ranch land , he invented birth control pills , very wealthy -- a few of us happened to be carrying randall made hunting knives , I collect them , I always carry a randall when out in the woods -- we got back to the sedan delivery and someone had vandalized it , took the sparkplug wires out , wouldnt start - then a truck showed up with some cowboy looking fellow , he was armed with a six gun -- he told us it was private property and told us to leave -- the willys was parked on a county road -- I told him to give me the wires back and we would go , the situation escalated I think when he saw we had randall sheath knives -- remember this was right after the charles manson and his girls incident in los angeles -- when the overweight cowpuncher wouldnt give me the wires back and started driving off , we started calling him assorted four letter words -- he came back and cornered one of friends up against a barb-wire fence and pistol whipped him over the head with the six gun -- *** was bleeding profusely and I asked the deranged fatboy for the wires back so i could take *** to the hospital -- Fatass Moose , his nickname I found out later , said he threw the wires over the side of the road , I looked and found 4 wires , enough to run three cylinders on the f-4 134 , and one for a coil wire -- I took *** to the hospital over the hill , about 15 miles -- they patched him up -- we reported the incident to the sheriff and basically nothing happened -- then we sued them in court -- it turned out the birth control baron was fishing buddies with the judge and the trial was over before it started -- it was an early lesson in law ? and injustice -- postscript -- my old buddy *** recently died of a heart attack in cozumel , mexico , on a family scuba diving trip , I really wonder if it was because of the fast life style he was still living ? I heard he was in mexico a lot , had a friend with a new pc-12 pilatus turbo-prop , the pilot had a mansion in cabo san lucas , on and on -- I cleaned up my act , I dont think he did .. RIP old friend ...
