Hello, all.
Last call for the rear leaf spring lifting tools! I'll be putting in the
order on Monday. See below if you missed the first message.
They will be $28 each if we get an order for ten or more, $40 each if we get
an order for ten or fewer. Plus shipping, of course. We've got five so far.
From this list, we've got Joe Curry, Doug Frank, Roger Elliott (if we get to
$28) and me. Anybody else want one?
