I knew Mel Gross for many years and he was a gentleman of the first order. About 20 years ago I bought an F100 steering box from him. After about 10 years it started leaking oil. He told me to pull it out and he would fix it for me. I told him I would rather go to the dentist than pull that box out.

Sometime after Mel passed away I came to know his son Randy, and discovered he lives down the street from me about 4 miles. Randy is also a gentleman of the first order.

I had the engine out of my Vic and one day he stopped by and insisted I pull the box out. With the engine out it was an easy task. He picked it up from me on a Friday evening on his way home from work and brought back Sunday after noon. And of course there was no charge.
