sweet, thanks rob. would've looked it up but had places to go today and thought someone would know off the top of their head.
joe, those tires are nothing special, just a free set of 33's on black steelies. one of them lost a bead, so i'll have to take it down to the tire shop this week before i put them on. i had planned to start on the rear brakes and getting the diff out today, but it's a hundred g/d degrees out today and that's just too damn hot for me. maybe later tonight, but i doubt it. should've done it yesterday, it was humid but only 85* and cloudy

truck is the neighbors, side by side duplex. the cavalier was the right price at the right time when my daughter was born. needed something with 4 doors. i'm a ford truck guy through and through, but when it comes to cars i don't think i've owned a ford, always little gm****boxes and one chrysler. scratch that, i owned an escort for a week and hated that car.
kris i was thinking about the starting fluid route, but alas, i am a huge puss about fire now. the igniter on my gas grill hasn't been working lately and i get scared to light it with a match or piece of paper
d/c, might have to try that. gotta check out the rim on that one. i saw it had a slight bend on the outer lip, but i don't think it's bad enough to mess with the bead area.

This method has never failed me though, even on my Ramcharger's 38.5"s.
