Re: Gas Station

Re: Snyder's New Catalog Came...and a Warning!

Bob is exactly right!

Ford Benzol DID give better fuel mileage and the one part 'oil' did a nice job lubricating the upper cylinders:)

Re: 36 V8 Pickup Radiator?

I bought a really, really solid nice one about 10 years ago at a farm sale, for 20 bucks. I figured the scrap value was that.

Re: Yes, times they are a changing

Auctions can be pretty murky waters to wade through.

I average MAYBE 200-300 miles of driving, a year, in a good year.

That is a good price for radials.
