Rust was hidden everywhere, but it did have 4:10 posi gears, 12-inch rear wheels and street slicks, and flw like a bat out of heck. Got most of my money out of it, but it was funny because of the "non" front end alignment, the buyer had to tow it on a flatbed to take it away. Black on Black (good color at night). Chevy Car: Mint 1967 RS/SS Camaro 396 4-Speed Muncie Trans / Original Muncie Shifter that works great! / 12-bolt Posi Rear / Immaculate Deluxe Interior w/Trim upgrade / No Crap hanging on the engine (A/C) except power steering (you need it). Great body & paint. Only a few thousand made. I love driving with two hands and two feet! Marina Blue / Bright blue interior. (Great Color for shows) Since by now most of the wives and husbands have been going, yea, right, where do you get to keep all this stuff. Well, sadly, the '99 F-350 was sold (I was made an offer I could not refuse). We each use the other two Fords trucks (Linda the Explorer, Me the Expy) for daily drivers. The '65 Chevy went when a guy at Illinois Car and Trucks and I was talking (I was looking for a '67 Camaro) and I happened to mention that I had a '65 Chevelle-Malibu. He HAD to have it. He said he would send me a check and a truck to pick it up. He did. Gone. Kind of miss it, but the rear quarters were solid bondo and the floors were getting very thin. Rear trans seal leaked like a sieve. [Note: I disclosed all this, he still wanted it]. So we are now down to our daily drivers (Expy and Explorer) and my hobby dream car, the SS/RS 396 4-speed Big-block 1967 Camaro. With 2 kids (6 and 3), and my own business, my plate is full to the top. I do not know what I would do if I still had all 6 vehicles!! Anyway, Ford Trucks, Chevy Cars; a good combination. This way, I can keep the whole economy running at an even level! Keith PS, sorry for the length of the post, and the re-printed correction of my poor grammer, but I though Chevy needed some representation, at least in the car arena! ------------------------------ From: "Scott Matus" Subject: We pick the best Date: Tue, 11 Apr 2000 07:27:25 PDT Keith - After your post I could not help to state the line up of my collection.

It's about time to replace them, but I don't really want to put new factory seats in, seeing as those were never truly comfortable. My interior is the medium graphite, and the chairs are cloth. Does anyone have experience with aftermarket seat manufacturers - performance, installation ease/difficulty, overall feel, quality, etc.? I would appreciate any advice or info. Thanks Terry ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 11 Apr 2000 22:11:16 -0500 From: Kevin Jerome Subject: Re: pads, rotors & calipers I've heard some good things about Raybestos QS (for "Quiet Stop") rotor pads. They are based on a ceramic friction material (Raybestos specialty is friction materials for brakes, trannies, etc etc) that creates NO appreciable BRAKE DUST and are as the name implies, very QUIET. I wrote them to ask for a source and the reply was: "Kevin, Use PGD679QS for your Ford Truck (my F-150). Call Raybestos for nearest supplier 800 323 0354" I haven't called yet (calling during business hours is tough with my work schedule right now), but I'd be interested in what they have to say if anyone else gets in touch with them. I understand that they are in the $150.00/set price range. Their web site with more info is at http://www.ford-trucks.com//lc/lc.php?action=do&link=http://www.raybestos.com/ //Kevin Jerome RSnovi aol.com wrote: > In a message dated 4/10/00 4:11:11 AM Eastern Daylight Time, dhsanto home.com > writes: > > Either Hawk or performance friction.

I have the same truck, crew cab and longbed, and I need to speak with someone about an exhaust noise. But the truck needs to be v10, crew cab, 4x4, auto and a California model. The noise is because the converter is located to close to the y-pipe at the motor. Ford won't fix it. I'd like to know if anyone else has this noise and if they've gotten anywhere with Ford. Let me know. Thanks. ------------------------------ From: "Ian R.

I am afraid I will wear out the drivers seat before the rest and would like to find nice custom fitted leather or vinyl seat covers. Thanks, Ian... NEW ! ! ! !

I plan to route the antenna to the rear sliding window for a glass mount antenna. I realize this is not the best antenna for a CB but I can't stand drilling a hole anywhere. I want to route the antenna wire under the plastic trim on the drivers side but I don't know how to remove this trim with out damaging it. Any tips would be welcomed! Also the antenna directions say not to mount to any glass with a metal foil in it. I have the extra dark factory tint in my windows, is this tinting plastic or metal film? I have entertained the thought of mounting the CB to the ceiling of the cab but rounting power up there and removing the headliner look like a nasty task. > Dan - Wisconsin > > ========================================================== > To unsubscribe, send email to: listar ford-trucks.com with > the words "unsubscribe 97up-list" in the subject of the > message. ------------------------------ End of 97up-list Digest V2000 #51 *********************************....
