Was I asleep?
I thought I had been doing a pretty good job of reading my emails, but I
missed the one where you said you were going to sell you double cab.

I disagree. I'll take disc brakes any day, especially in Dallas traffic.

Paul, did you upgrade your Bus from stock or was it done by the PO? Do you
get points taken off at shows for not being stock? This Bus is so close to
being all original I'd hate to change anything I don't have to but saftey is
more important - that's why I am going with discs for the front

James ,I run a 1641 in my single cab,dual kadrons,110 engle cam .I don't
believe in high compression street engines , and no reduction gears , 3600
is about what I run all day long.70,75,even 80mph is not a problem,but not
recommended.It,s duel port. Sammie says stock lol, Sammie I had to ans were
for you.
