Gotta love that road salt...no wonder the vans last so much longer out there than in snow country!

You should bring one of those pizzas back for Chebby...maybe she gets royalties for every box sold... lol!

The shop wants $800 to replace the rear brake line on a 97 Ford pick up,,,,,if I could find a M10-1.25 brake line adapter fitting, I could convert the system to our 3/16 tubing,,,,,,HOWEVER,,,,,if I wanted to work, I could of just stayed home,,,,,

Seems like they have mechanical work for you every time you visit! I think it’s their way of telling you how much they miss you! Nice to have a mechanic in the family...plus this work seems to be part of your DNA! What a Face

truck-in was spring fever hosted by
vantasia vans out of Kansas City, most
of their club is on the Kansas side.
truck-in was in Bevier Mo, about an hour
west of Hannibal Mo.
