VINTAGEPIC: saw these two C-3s showing off a Tucker collection on the FB

The last time I registered a vehicle that had not been registered in awhile and there was a change in ownership due to liquidation of an estate, I was ping-ponged between TXDOT (now TXDMV) and my county registrar, and kept getting different instructions on paperwork requirements...what a waste of time...at one point, had a DPS detective meet me on the side of I-35 outside of Waco to do as I was told, and even he gave me a cryptic statement about the state does not put any resources into antique vehicles because there was no $$$ in it after he signed an affidavit that ended up not being filed...eventually, after umpteen trips between Belton and Waco, I had a nice older gal at the county look around to make sure the coast was clear, then told me that all she needed to see was the signature on the back of the title, and told me that the govt does not have the resources to verify signatures, but was mainly interested in assessing taxes to the new owner ***WINK*** Confused, I started to ask "but what if the title owner is decea--" NOPE she interrupted, reiterating that she only needed to see the signature on the back...hmmm...So I left the office to "obtain the proper signature", came back 5 minutes later, handed her the cash for the fees, and was out the door with all of the proper paperwork filed

If it's a 1950 flathead, there's a rope seal in there that is not a slam dunk to replace...I believe the rope seal is the oil seal for the crankshaft, and those bolt-on seals are dust seals to keep debris from damaging the rope seal.

Good work...if that pitman arm comes loose again, that 19-27-9 lock washer may need replacement.
