If you go to the Great Mall in Milpitas (which is indeed the old site of the San Jose Ford plant) then have a nice display inside of the history of the plant. I don't have any pics, though.

I also got a build sheet for a Bronco that I used to have. No charge, but the information is not guaranteed to be accurate. The build sheet said I had a "Warner four speed transmission" but it was an NP435. Both by the tranny itself and the door code.

Hey Babe, been a long time since you have posted - I was afraid we had offended you!

I have missed you.

Aw.... this broad doesn't get offended very easily. I have neglected posting because the holidays kinda kick the crap outta me and I want to make sure I stay on top of EVERYTHING. So FTE kinda goes on the back burner.

My next big plans are for my B-day.

Thanks for the sweet words, Clint. It's sure nice to be welcomed back.

OOPs, I ment to ask what her b-day plans were, not how old she was. However, if it is not tell may we can do a off-road meet for her birthday!

She was wanting to see how her 4X4 worked.

Clint, I believe Ben was answering Jim's question about the SJ Ford plant closure date, not spilling the beans about the date of Leilani's B-day...

Don't be scared, Clint. You should post and say whatever you want to at anytime. Everybody does it. It seems that no matter what ppl say you're gonna **** *some*one off sometime. But don't sweat me. Like I said I don't scare easy.

And I'm not embarrassed about my age. I'll be 32 in Feb.

Ok, so on May 20th, we should all head over to the mall and mourn the passing of the Ford Plant.

Cool, I might actually have my '56 pickup back together by then!
Anybody know what parts to get to put a singular serpentine belt on a 351 Cleveland?

That might be a bit tough...you'll just have to get creative and do some experimenting. Most single serpentine setups use a reverse-rotation water pump, but the 351C was never offered with one...hmm, got me thinking now...

Clint, I wouldn't worry about it. Foot-in-mouth disease is still much better than the condition I frequently suffer, which is a recto-cranial inversion. Which of course means that my head is frequently lodged firmly in my...well, you know!



We now return this thread to its previously scheduled topic...or maybe not!
