    Not the lug nut. The thread changed a few times. Not the plate frame. Not the rivet. Excellent guess though.

    Vehicle air conditioning really necessary?

    How about considering options such as in cab fans, moisture wicking fabrics, shaded roofs, or the fact that there was a time before AC was available?

    At what point to do you give up on a D1? Can they be made reliable?
