No - I can't think of who it would be, but I want second crack at him!!

Seriously, that's why my truck still has the original belts in it. I started to pull them out, beginning on the passenger side, but twisted the head off every bolt. Since I could repair them from the bottom (by cutting the square weld nut off and replacing with a loose nut and bolt) I figured I'd better quit before I got to the driver's side - which would be blocked from underneath by the fuel tank!

I figure if I ever have the tank out for some reason I'll twist that one off and repair it while I am at it.
