My dad said that he could replace a clutch in a '39 Ford on the shoulder of the road. Before my time but if he said that he did, I believe him.
I had a 72 VW camper that required the use of a four foot cheater bar to loosen the lug nuts on one side only. And I had that 56 Ford pickup that nothing ever went wrong with, until the steering gearbox failed. That one had recently been restored just before I bought it. Diamond tuck interior and all. Sigh.
