[AT] Rockol tractor Chrysler straigt 8

[Ralph Goff]

I see I shouldn't have spoke before I researched a little further. I do have
some recollection of seeing an early 50s or late 49s Chrysler product at an
auction sale listing that had a straight 8 .
Well I am done for the day and about 4 hours late for supper. A long
afternoon in the field with lots of problems.
