I agree Scott has a very vivid amagination you know who could have looked under a Chevy Pick em Up Truck and designed something as sweet as that.

i think that i am going to look at some chevy restore sites from some shock mounts.

Post by **david58** » Mon Nov 27, 2006 6:27 pm

Absolutely too much I ordered a left and a right they called me and asked if I ever owned a VW based car. I said no but they said their records show that I bought a gas cap for a bug 10 years ago.
