Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

Scrubbed it off and went to a car show. Left the driver's door window down and someone threw a flyer about a future car show in. #litter

Member #Richard and I had a good time chatting and looking at the old iron. Had burgers at the Rock and Roll Cafe, too. I saw several examples of vehicles I had and never should have sold.

I should try to catch up with you guys at a car show sometime. It's been a long time since I've been to car shows.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

Installed the new heater control on my 68 stepper and I bought 2 sets of Trico Classic wipers. They were $10 each guy gave me the 4 for $35 at the Rhinebeck or as we call it the Rainbeck show as it rains every year ,

I bet they hold their shape better than the black plastic ones.

Here in AZ the sun kills the rubber before they're a year old, anyway.

They make the complete blade but no refills . Even though the blade can come off just like the originals makes no sense

The refills are available through Classic Industries.

No sense to us, the Consumers. For the Company to only sell the whole Wiper makes perfect sense to their Accounting Dept.
