    Wile E. Coyote says they hurt. And you can quiet them down by wrapping chains around them. That's about all I know of anvils.

    Nice beast! I've got a mouse hole I use now and then. Alec Steele has a good youtube channel about learning black smithing.

    Your TRenton looks to be in nice shape, good find. I would like to point out that I’ve seen a few tailgate cables break on newer trucks, it happens so often that Auto part stores carry new cables in the help section. Can’t believe how many folks put ramps on the gate to load ATV’s and such, that’s a no no.

    I've snapped a couple Chevy cables... but our cars rot out from the tons & tons of salt on our roads every winter, too.

    Nope, My cable broke on my 96 Chevy 3500, back in the day trucks had metal folding flat stock to hold the gate, they never failed.
