    I made 2 trips to the scrap yard today. Round one I stayed dry,round 2 I got soaked but theres 2 less van shells at my place now which is a huge plus and an extra $400 in my pocket:-) This evening I started cleaning out Grandpas basement and found the missing seatbelt for my 66 that I havent been able to locate for about 20 plus years. Grandpa was the original owner. I found it in a brown paper bag the wife was gonna toss in the trash. It looks brand new. Its the only missing belt for the 2 rear bench seats. She wants to pitch everything but I like looking at all the old stuff before it gets tossed out. Granpa died a few years back and Grandma is in a nursing home so we clean up a bit when we get a chance. They saved every empty can and milk jug their whole life I think. I also found a cool pamphlet for an A100 camper. Im guessing Grandpa was checking them out before he bought the 66 Falcon Supervan which I ve had for over 20 years now. That seatbelt made my whole day worthwhile. Its a pretty blue color and the blue buckle is perfect.

    Found them on "FeeBay" from "Joe-Welder" Just watch his shipping. He jacks it up real high to compensate for a very low starting price on most all of his listings....
