    The ones I saw were in the last row or two of the fords, hopefully they werent crushed already. Ive never read anything about ranchero breaks working. That year would be the big ranchero like on a torino platform so I dont think they are the same.

    I thought that the torino, mustang and maverick platforms all used the same front brakes? I could be wrong though, wouldn't be the first time.

    I could be wrong too but I said Ive never heard of it so I neither confirmed or denied. Which leaves me still with a 100% record of being right.

    Anybody want to load up those pics from Saturday? I can load them tomorrow at work when I get bored.

    Hey guys. Went to the Run to the pines car show last weekend. 550+ cars. I won first place of all the Mavericks there. Unfortunately there was no Maverick class and I was the only Maverick there. :rofl2:

    Joe Im not sure what its called but the plastic piece is just the bushing, there is also a clip that goes on the end to hold the linkage on. Go to autokrafters and look at the linkage parts, they sell the bushing and probably the clip too.

    Looks like they sell this kit to replace those http://www.autokrafters.com/p-9819-shift-linkage-repair-kit.aspx

    So was the Ford section at Ecology bigger then before? Now that the other one is import only I am guessing this one is domestic only? or atleast have more Fords since they took them from the other lot? I bet they just crushed them all and didnt bother moving them.

    Don is at a point in his life where he just buys trophy's and awards them to himself. It's less expensive in the long run. I'm going to start doing this as well.

    Age and experience always outperforms youth and enthusiasm. What I've learned is that if you can't win fair...cheat!
