We just headed to the grandparents house for the weekend so they can visit their grand baby. But I zoomed in on my original pics (attached) I'll clean them up and take some better pics Monday.

Best place to buy bearings?

For those bearings, Six States if you have one.

I got a special delivery today... Thank you AK! I'll be putting these on the garage wall soon

2100....you r going to have to get some crocus cloth and clean those bearing surfaces before new bearings. You might even consider some "bearing locker" to keep the new bearings from trying to spin on the spindles. Permatex makes it, and every bearing shop carries it.

Whitey....I'll send the GT plates when I find them. Those came off my 90 150 4x4 Lariat. SB, 302, AT. I finally got rid of it when I got Red. I took those off in 09 when I got the "F150" vanity plates. Blue inherited the F150 plates when I bought him. When I sell Blue, the 150 plates go to Red.

I'll probably have a couple of plates available soon. I am going to apply for vintage plates. They are ugly as hell, but they are cheaper than regular registration each year, and they make it exempt from all things emissions. I technically don't have to do emissions anymore, but still face the possibility of getting pulled over in other counties. This plate says "leave me alone". LOL.

Here's our "historic" vehicle plate. I have my Highboy registered with it but we are also allowed to run the truck year plate. So I have a 1974 license plate on my truck and I keep the historic plate in the glove box. If I get pulled over the 74 plate is aliased with the historic plate. But I have to have the exp sticker valid on my historic plate and have to be able to provide it if I'm pulled over.

That is awesome.... I wish I had more than 5 characters. I want to do WT89GT. I put WT GT as my top choice and 89 GT as my second choice on the application. But I'm starting to think I might switch it to THE89. My car is affectionately named "The Eight Nine" among my friends, so.... that's where that comes from.

BTW 2100, I have used this stuff as a retaining compound, and it works really well. I would recommend it.

Only 1975 and older vehicles qualify for collector plates here. They renew every five years, but "All taxes and fees shall be five times the annual taxes and fees normally assessed." There's also a limit of 4500 miles per year. I'm not sure there's an upside.

I've considered getting vanity plates for my Mustang: SQEWED
I'd want to get a plate surround that says "SLIGHTLY" at the top.

In other news, my $30 CL find:

Salt Lake has had 4 earthquakes in the last two days...... EEEK. Seismic activity makes me nervous. SLC has a fault line right along the mountain.
