Frunch Fries are done in pork fat sprinled with Vinegar and salt.

Chips are the paper thin crunchy stuff you get in a cello bag.....

Both go well with cold beerssss!!!

On to the seals..... hard to tell what the seals are for these days.... the shop I go to does not care what kind of machine or vehicle it comes from..... you give hime ID and OD and thickness and the search engine finds who makes them, where they are in stock, how much they cost and what freight will be for regular or fast delivery........ all because of the web.

On the large front hub 6.5 in. seals the Industrial Solution shop beleived they were used on industrial bread making machines and that is why they have them stock.

Tony on the pinion seal ...... could the Ford seal be different than the CHev seals...??? from my failing memory we found the seals but them had to cut our own 1/2 thick felt as we could not find them anywhere.

The only bearing I had no luck finding was the bottom rear bearing for the tranny..... everything else including T-case bearing were found.

New neoprene seals are often less thick than original but will fit nice.

The opposite of the coin is the local flap where a teenager with pimple wants to know what make, size engine, color of the rear seat and time of day of your vehicle before he can find you a simple Delco AC 44 plug for our engines.

One shop uses technology to provide service... the flap uses what is easier for them.
