Gary,
Sorry,
I did not mean to imply there were no welds. Only that there WERE clamps
(as well as the Ford front joint). The parts section is accurate, and
yes - you could have an original. Mine seems to have been replaced only
because the P.O. wanted 2" pipes. :-)
Of course, on a steep drive, or intersection drainage depression, I can
rub the tip bottoms. Not sure it wouldn't have done the same stock.
Isn't that Parts Supplement a gem? You can download the whole enchilada
and e-mail it to Kinko's for a spiral bound printing.
