It gets complicated but to let you all know I am temporarily unemployed at the moment. I did get a microfische machine to bring home but of course I left the better slides where I was. For the most part I can still do what I've always done here.
For a year or two there has been a corporate individual in charge of a Ford dealer I used to work at wanting me to come back. MUCH closer drive and I know everybody there. As Garrett said above I would have been better off. Well, the dealer I was working at hired a new Parts Director out of Caly. He started to instill some rules and regs that may work in California but sure as heck won't work in Phoenix. He was willing to give up the business of the three biggest Body Shop accounts that I've had for more than 10 years because he wanted to get the parts return percentage below 8%. Between these three accounts they bought close to $200,000 from me in the last 12 months. Average return rate of these 3 is 10%. He started a program to charge everybody a restocking charge starting after 10 days. Even these shops. I told him he can't do this. It won't work. He basically stood pat. So I started talking with the corporate guy from the other Dealer. He wanted me bad. I talked with him on the phone last saturday and really liked what I'm about. He set up we two meeting so we could meet and talk then wednesday. So 2 days later,a week ago friday, when the woman from the $150,000/year Body Shop called me threatening to go elsewhere, part of what I told her to save MY account was that I'm going to personally watch over the credits written and make things right and "I don't know how much longer I'm going to be here". Phone calls are recorded at the Dealer I was at. And I knew it but I didn't care. I assumed I was going to go back to the Dealer that I was layed off from in 2008 and that that Corp guy was in charge of. The new Boss heard that conversation Saturday and didn't like it. So I was let go monday morning. . I would have rather it been on my time scale. BUT, and I mean a big BUT, 2 days ago the Corp guy called me and said he wants me but instead of him getting me a good wage and my senority back,the main Corporate office in Florida doesn't want another wage in the Ford Dealer I would have been hired back at. So the job I assumed I had in the bank.....isn't. No matter, I will perservere. Everybody in my business here in Phoenix knows me. I am a damn good person and a damn good partsman. AND I HAVE THE SUPPORT OF OUR KINGDOM. How could I go wrong?

I did stop by to visit him at work a few months back.

None better in my book!

Good luck to Jeff, A stand up guy no doubt.

Jeff, Now that you live close by and get bored. Ya know where I live! LOL

Right Steve?

1. 65/72 Ford Car F1.
2. 65/72 mercury M3.
3. 73/79 mercury M1.
4. 80/89 Truck LT 1 and LT 2.

Any 65/72 truck slides would be great. different spots in mine are washed out.
And if you've got the Cross Reference slides dated 1976 (or older) that would be Awesome.

And wire it's low fluid sensor in to the dash's brake warning lamp piggy back. I had bought a new universal proportioning valve off EBAY years ago I plan on using. MBM brand and part number PV2.
This 90-94 Ranger M/C, does it require metric fittings and does it have seats in the ports for standard female double flares?
