Default Yes we speak Ford but need to use hand gestures

Hi

Yes most Chevy speakers can speak Ford, but need to use many hand gestures and speak loudly and slowly to be understood by those who speak Ford.

I'll take some photos of the window post units from the doors this afternoon, I got a list of photos I need to take to answer various CMP questions for people.

The use of Ford parts on Chevy CMPs and visa verse all seems to stem back to the thinking that was described by Sid Swallow about the birth of the CMP concept at Ford and GM. They needed parts fast and they engineers grab parts that they had that worked which would not require time to develop new tooling. It would be fun to have a time machine and go back and watch this relatively small group of people develop the first CMPs get them into production and then evolve them based on the feedback they got.

Cheers Phil
