<VV> Arrow Head in the Front

[Western Canada CORSA]

I was parked next to a Dodge A100 p/u at a show a few years ago.  The owner
said there was 75lbs of lead (and it felt like it) in the tailgate to better
balance the truck out.

Regards,
Joel

I doubt it. They wouldn't have to. And Ford did add a weight to the rear of
the Econoline Pick up the next year. The following year, Chevy had a guy
stand
 the regular Econoline van onto it's front bumper. They didn't pay the guy
enough  money!  I liked the part where the pedestrian pushed the running
Econoline  pick up in a circle on ice with the rear wheels spinning all the
time. The
 front end just sat there as he pushed the rear around sideways! The other
one I  liked was the opening of the radiator cap inside the cab of the
econoline
 pick-up. The guy doing it was in a full fire-suit - And needed it. Great
stuff!  - Seth
