I went through my cards again today, and didn't find the license plate guy,
but will see what I can come up with in the meantime. I assume you want '59
truck plates, but what state?
When you talk about swapping out the 5.14 gears, that goes right over my
head, but do I understand that there's a way to change the gear ratio to a
more efficient one without butchering the frame, and putting in a whole
clip, etc? If so, I'd be interested in looking into it.
By the way, the trip to Michigan was NO VACATION! I'm a railroad
consultant, and spent my time riding freight trains for 12 hours a day. Did
see a lot of wildlife, and some beautiful scenery.
Take care!
