m and I was still working on the removal of the tail gate from a 64 wagon with the lower part down and me sitting on it because I was lazy I was removing the torsion bar across the back lower area when I remover the last bold all hell broke out the bar let fly and caught my left hand between the pinkey and the next finger, and it happened so fast I didn't know what hit me, I grabbed it with my old greasy rag I had in my pocket and started to change my pants, once pants were changed I went in the house and found my wife had not left for church yet, so I told her to drop me off at the hospital on her way to church, she asked why so I showed her, she had a hard time driving but we got there ok,told her to go to church and come back when it was over I would still be there, when she came back they had already operated on my hand and put me to bed, I stayed over night, me being left handed it was a bit of a trouble for me to do much for the next 3 months until the pins came out, It still to this day doesn't bend like it should, what happened to the 64 you ask? bone yard over the last few years and some of you good people have some parts from it. bottom line don't fool with the wagon tail gate unless you know more about it....Bob
