It's pretty solid, I stood on top of it, To test it afterward.

Not exactly what I had in mind, But thanks.

It was helping to push me, Or should I say "kick me in the a$$" on mine.:lol:

Alright, It's time to show some of the goodies I got at the swap meet.
The weather stunk, And a lot of the vender's were gone. But I found some
nice stuff.

-First some halogen headlights, With built in marker lights, And turn signals.
-Second, A new HEI distributor, With a clear cap.
-Third, Polished grille inserts, And a set of stainless corner bed rails
-Then, A set of stainless mirror stands, And stainless smoothies to go on them.
