So I get curious about curb weights last night. '72 Dart 3200, '69 Camaro 3500 with a small block 3650 with a big block.
From a past experience '65 T-Bird 4500
, my GMC 1500 was 5500. The T-Bird was a gift I wanted to play with, but I couldn't figure out how to get enough weight off of it to make it my kind of fun

I don't see any Stevie Wonder in there. But then again I can't find my magnifying glass either
Think I had some of the same ones! Some of the same artists for sure
Creedence, Chicago, John Denver
Can't read them all...would have loved to have had the Eagles in the car.
When I had more, besides the Foghat and Doors there were sides of Who's Next, and Stones - maybe Sticky Fingers, Willie Niles, and one with a track with the Paul is Dead mystery, Beatles mixed tape I put together at friends house.
Full tapes of Who by Numbers, Empty Glass - somewhat dangerous in car, Argent, Paul Revere and the Raiders, are the ones I recall at the moment.
I don't know which ones are consistanly good quality these days. I changed all the ones that looked bad in the Wagoneer and still ended up with a bad one.
Get it rebuilt?
There's a small chance I still have the original from '67.
I got a new one at local car radio store (1990ish). Not as good as original but OK.

Do you have the owners manual?
If not, I can post up my crib sheet.
Some of the bulbs were close enough to new versions that manufacturers stopped offering them.
I try to keep to original for everything but headlights even though its minor.
I did experiment with brighter brake/tail lamps that Dan Stern was pushing, then when I went to replace with the same he was trash talking.

And now we're poking fun at the vision impaired. I had a blind friend, boating accident in his teens I think it was caused it. Most amazing guy, best dam water skier I ever pulled behind the boat, I used to let him drive my truck. Talk about your heightened senses, Steve had them.
Yeah, and my 99 Ram 2500 was 7800 pounds hahaSo I get curious about curb weights last night. '72 Dart 3200, '69 Camaro 3500 with a small block 3650 with a big block.

I don't recall how much my Ram weighs, and having a truck scale at the rock farm I'm sure I drove over it a time or 3, if nothing else just to wake the scale girl
If I remember tonight I'll dig out time slips to see how much was lost when I ran with a trunk full of tools and parts I was hoping to unload at the swap meet. I thought it might help traction, but it didn't really. LOL Tires and spring setup werent going to be helped much even by a couple hundred pounds...So I get curious about curb weights last night.

Those North and North East winds usually get the firefighters all nutted up around here. No Red Flag Warnings though.

My mother in law sent us one of her recent paintings today. 15” x 15” acrylics on canvas. It is a birthday present for my wife.
WOW! Looks like a photograph! Hey, Thanks again Dave.

She does amazing work with acrylics for sure!
No doubt. It looks like something I would take with a camera. I need to ask Santa for a digital SLR this Christmas.

I highly recommend getting this camera. Relatively inexpensive with incredible capability. I have one. It’s everything you could want.

Yea. That's really good.
We've had some wrens for the past month so along with a lot of other song birds. They're fun to watch.
Just doing a fly by... Been busy working and not much time to check in...
I'm already at 43 hours for this week, so today is all OT...
