lol,,,you are very intertaining thanks for sharing..bob

wow ok....have a ball with it...that thing is immaculate.. bob

good advice,,i already put one on years ago passenger side....but im going to take them both off,,,,before paint...strip them and paint everything seperate and yes they are very heavy,,,need 2 people to hang them properly,,,even when they are stripped completely,,as i said i have been collecting parts for the last 27 years,,,all i need now is a bunch of little things that you could pretty much buy at any truck dealership....have a big order coming from watts....bob

also some of you might be interested in the company was originally started by my grandfather back around 1900 he started with a horse and wagon delivering bananas....i was talking to an oldtimer back when i was a kid in the 60,s that remembered my grandfather ...he said when he was a boy my grand pop used to deliver to (his) pops farm,,,i understand back in those days,,,folks used to use more of a horse trade system....and every body knew everybody....very interesting.. but by 1970 my uncle told me,the company was way too much work for the money he was paying himself..sold it and went to work for beacon fast freight.in the shop as a foreman..brooklyn NY..he said life was alot easier and no pressure...bob
