I was at O'Reilly's and between you and me the store in my town only hires "the very best" The very best at what I havent figured out yet. Obviously not cars. Both O'Reillys and Auto Zone here in town are a joke. Last night I went to Auto Zone to get some more bearings and I had to show the guy behind the count how to run the computer. I was looking for bearings for the rear axle for my 68 chevelle. He went to the shelf and pulled the part out of the box and said "there you go!" I just so happend to have the old ones in my pocket (I have learned to take the old stuff I know is right with me) and compared the two. Not even close. I looked back at the computer screen and he had selected a 1986 Ford F150. Call me crazy but I think a blind, one legged horse could have done a better job of typing in what I wanted. So...I went to my buddy in Iowa City that is the manager of O'Reillys there. He knows what he is talking about and we had it figured out in no time. I came home put everything together and it looks so sweet. I know some (ok...all) of my questions seem dumb but it just seems like everything I try to do on the car fights me all the way. When I exhaust all of my own ideas I know that the knowledge on the list can set me straight. Thanks for all the help and for making me feel totally stupid!! Ryan I have the front end on tires for the first time tonight!!
