<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> It was about 30 yrs. ago,that we made a trip
to Mass.,from Florida.On the way up,along in Virginia,a growling noise developed
in the rear of my Greenbriar.I was able to pin point it, as a outer rear wheel
bearing,takeing a dump.I made it to Mass. and knowingly had to replace it.I
called Clark's asking for a wheel bearing,which they had,and asked if i could
drive up to pick it up.No Way!.I was told that they were a mail order
business,and no over the counter sales could be made.I explaind that it was a
emergency situation,and that i would need it asap,in order to drive back to
Florida,and that i did not have a week to wait for it through mail
order.Again,talking to deaf ears.A friend suggested that i call a old time
part's house in Westfield,Mass. BINGO,they had a New Departure N-4 bearing and
machine shop service.I removed the shaft and carried it over to them.They
pressed old bearing off,installed new,and i was out of there for under $40.00.If
i recall,Clark's wanted about $70.00 for the bearing itself,plus shipping
n' handling.Such a deal.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Just had to let you all know about a great experience with the Corvair
Ranch in Pennsylvania.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I've always had good luck with used parts from these guys, so I called
them up to find some door panel trim. (Clark's is out of stock on these)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Jeff picked up the phone, knew what I needed (he also knew it was
identical for '64 also!), had the price and shipping amount ready.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I said "let's do it" and 2 days later the pkg arrived, the excellent
condition parts were safely packed, with a clear copy of the bill, and a
Gettysburg PA Travel brochure.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Those guys rule!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>See you on 1/18.</DIV>
