[BaadAssGremlins] Might be getting some V-8 Gremlin parts...so...

["Jerry" <gremlingts@xxxxxxxxx>]

  A club guy I haven't met but once at our annual Club show called 
me up Monday night, and said he's parting out a V-8 '74 Gremlin. Was 
left in a field, and has rusted out badly. Not much of the 
sheetmetal is good, he said. Anyway, he's keeping the V-8 front 
crossmember, but I should be getting the rear axle and driveshaft. 
Also I hope the transmission crossmember,and probably the automatic 
trans, as he doesn't want that, either. Other than that, any other 
specific parts? Oh yeah, the manifolds! Gotta get THOSE! He said he 
was not keeping the block, but was taking the parts off it. Is the 
Hornet exhaust manifolds the same as the Gremlin, or different, 
anyone know? He may be keeping those, he's interested mainly in 
HOrnets, he has one, and some Javelins. I will probably get the rear 
hatch glass and interior plastic as well. He's keeping the Sport 
steering wheel. Not sure of the rest of the stuff. 
  If anyone can think of anything V-8 specific I missed I would 
need, holler at me. I've got a crossmember already, but nothing 
else, so the rear axle and driveshaft gets me most of the way there 
for  afuture conversion. Idler or Pitman arm differences? Well, I 
should be going out on Sunday to check on it, and get some or most 
of the parts then. 
  Another thing I checked on was on a possible Gremlin "cap" for my 
Toyota p/u truck...I measured, the width is the same, the depth I'll 
need looks to be the same...would look "neat" driving my old beater 
Toyota with a rear Gremlin "cap" on it, I think. LOL. I have my 
circular saw with metal cutting blade(s), so I can probably cut it 
off if it's worth it. What the hey, it's gonna be cut up, down, and 
apart, so may as well save what I can, eh? Wish me the best!

JErry in VA...spring has sprung loose some Gremlin parts, finally...
