Re: [AMC-list] A little activity on the list

Hi Andrew,

I bought an NOS T-150 with Laycock from a seller in Kenosha years ago and was looking for a place to use it.  I have the floor shift (with T-14) now but I do have the NOS parts to install the OD unit (turn signal stalks with OD button and wiring harness.)

I'll keep my eyes peeled for a good small body rear axle with a 3.08 or lower ratio.   

I think the weatherman is saying you're gonna get more snow.

Regards,
Joe
