The '71 now has the 1835 engine, swapped from the '70. Second owner of each. 1988 Mazda B2200 truck, 1998 Frontier, 2014 Yukon, 2004 Frontier King Cab.

The smaller hardware stores also usually have very helpful staffs too. If you go when its not too busy, they will help you out as much or as little as you need. Nothing like Home Depot where you can wander for hours without seeing someone who knows the section you need. |

Yes ACE is the place so the add says.
I stopped in the Big Box Store one day and asked where the toggle bolts are? I got a deer in the head lights look and what is a toggle bolt. _________________ Volkswagen: We tune what we drive.
