The hood has been a real pain because the 3 bolts that hold the spring to the inner fender did nothing. They were tight but couldnt do anything with them because the the nut just spun in the cage on the other side. That has since been fixed.

Yea there may be newer better tires out there but these go well on 70's fords.
The rust on the bed will be the last thing to get fixed before paint. I have 2 new complete bed sides to go on when they need too. I need to find a Cummins first before paint.

That is actually the brand name. Last time I looked they still had a website. I just don't know what model they are.

Found them, but the pic is a 5-bolt. You can still order 8-bolts though.

Drive your R6. She's got plenty of power and is VERY economical... unless you're doing 120 all the time

Just as an FYI there PA74F250, use this button to quote multiple people at once, and you can click as many quotes as you want. To get rid of a quote you accidentally clicked on, just hit , and it'll go back to .

Once you're done collecting quotes from multiple posts and pages, just hit and vwala!

Just thought I'd pass this on so you don't spend all your hours trying to quote us and make triple-posts. Haha.

Very true and actually I ride pretty much everyday to work that I can. The lowest I've managed to get with mine is 40 so far and that's hitting the 15,500 rpm limiter daily.
I don't think those Ultras are very expensive. I like the looks but mainly got them for the tires.
