My '56 Jimmy was picked up in Minnesota for me by my friend, Bob, so therefore it's name is "Jim Bob" - - - - it also has that good 'ol Suthern Redneck ring to it. :D

Thanks, I made a mistake in measuring the holes early this morning, without my glasses and trying to get the Wiffy to her doc's appt. It is 2 11/16" instead of 2 13/16".[S

I have been gathering parts, some new and some old, in preparation of putting two one barrel Rochesters on my 235. I have purchased a new Offy intake and my present Carb's base fits the intake perfectly, however, the one that I just purchased off of Ebay looks "exactly the same on the outside...

Some 'idiot' painted over the Chassis Serial # Plate on my '56 GMC and I need to know how to clean the paint off and NOT damage or destroy the plate and the information stamped on it. Come'on dudes, I know that one of Y'all has a secret ingredient or solution or goop like "Love Potion # 9" or...

I'm surprised that this hasn't happened sooner as dry as it has been here in Leon County. The strong North winds are blowing it away from us, proper, but making it very difficult on the emergency and fire fighting folks. I pray for those in harm's way and that are being evacuated at this time...

Sounds like Y'all dodged the bullet this time, Izzy, but in today's world you gotta be ultra-cautious - - - - - hopefully you will be rewarded for you kindness later on down the road.

Keep the Faith, Sarg, sometimes that old bucket can get damned full but, if you empty it one drop at a time, it will eventually lessen the load. As for your Youngest Son and his "Finance", that was probably a blessing from Heaven in disguise. Keep on keepin' on and Good Luck, WR

got mine, thanks Trip, nice job [cl

I'm sure this has been said already but I ain't about to go back and read all the posts - - - I HATE any and all Telemarketers and Junk Mail - - even if they do speak English - - - THEY BUG HELLOUTA ME !

I received 4 special phone calls and got to visit with my 2 sons and the Wiffy's 2 sons who are also my best friends.Hearing their voices and knowing that they are doing well is the best gift a Father can get.

What'cho talkin' 'bout Willard?:p
