I have Parkinson's Disease. My wife has the patience of a saint, as it makes me very SLOW....so a little slack, please?

Cleaning my shop found 2 inspection plates for bottom front of auto trans. Free in Hyde Park.

I sold a Volare wagon to someone in the Netherlands about 10 years ago. Buyer paid to ship it from Arizona...

Early Dodge Dakotas have leaf springs with same front segment length, rear is only 2" shorter. Rear bracket can be slid forward that much with a home made plate adapter, HOWTO is in some of the older posts on line under Bill55AZ. 3 Dakota leafs from the right load rated Dakota will do the...

FMJ rear end links are no longer found at the parts places, unless you ask for mid 90's Chevy S10 FRONT end links....just a hint. Bill55AZ is still alive, however the Parkinson's Disease is making things difficult, so I quit the hobby. I live near Logan, Utah where a big car show is held...

Best cheap way to get better springs on FMJ is to drop all the leafs except the long ones, then add back to the spring pack the 3 leafs from a Dakota. You will have to trim the ends to remove the mount eyes and not use the overload leaf. Front segment length is the same for Dakota, FMJ, and...

I have 2 M body cop car speedos, several FMJ service manuals, FMJ brochures, a rebuilt 360 motor with magnum heads, rebuilt 318 with magnum heads, rebuilt a999 trans, rebuilt a500 trans, grill for 80 Volare, all lights for 80 LeBaron, and more. Selling all cheap, Parkinson's has kicked my butt...

I have 3 of the 10 spoke wheels in Peoria, AZ

Most modern factory alloys are too deep, can't be used on older cars, but the 2000 Ford Explorer Sport Trac wheels can be used if the center hole is reamed just a little. The offset/backspace is very close to what the 15x7 cop car wheels are... I had 3 sets done at a local machine shop, cost...

now they are in the northern Utah area....

The AT9, or directv multidish, 25 x 29 inches....or similar nearly round and shallow reflectors. If shallow, the focal point will be longer than average. I use them for solar cookers. The AT9 is the one just before the AU9, aka SlimLine, which do not serve as well as the AT9.... I will...

I have 3 in the Phoenix AZ area, no caps....

oops....the axle...it isn't here (AZ). I must have given it to someone and forgotten about it. I should have some smaller stuff buried in the garage somewhere, tho. Will post again when I clean it out. For sure I have the 3.2 gears only, no carrier. Plus a 2.2/2.4 suregrip carrier, no...

I have a 3.2 open axle at my AZ house, and probably a sure-grip carrier that came from another car, don't remember what all I have.... consider them yours....contact me again in early January. I am in Utah until after Christmas. The Utah stuff is pretty much gone.

have 2, the 3.2 open is in AZ, the 2.45 with suregrip is in Utah.... the Utah one goes for scrap soon if no one comes for it....the AZ one goes for scrap shortly after Christmas...
