I have been going through all the documentation that was in the truck and glove box and I'm amazed at it -- I have never had so many random notes from every owner and numbers to every place they bought parts from or could buy parts from -- I have the Service Manual thats very detailed and about 2 inches thick -- I have a registration card that expired in 1972 from New York -- Its like looking at the life of the car through a foggy glass --- very interesting - -- I'm glad to see other people my age on here with these great cars, maybe we can all keep them going -- this forum is great info wise and I really do appreciate yalls help and input -- I'm sure a lot of questions will come up in the near future -- wheels are coming off in the morning to see what the brakes look like and check the bearings -- then sand down the rusty spots to stop what little surface rust there is from growing any more -- when I get it to the house I will post plenty of pics for you guys, pics can explain this car better than I can --
