My eldest stepdaughter bought one of those Lekkur things with the sunroof
and all.  I think that was a foreign made affiliated with gm. I had more
fun giving her a bad time about that car.  Delivering papers in Iowa in the
winter, hey the sunroof's gonna be great as it leaks. Then there's getting
parts for poor folks. I had more fun with that even.  "How ya gonna
get reasonably priced parts for that thing?" Only two others in the
whole darned state!!!

I buy vans that are detroit iron, parts available at your friendly local
salvager, or he can get on the phone to associates.

NOw if somebody could just find the hydraulic booster for my '69 c50 truck.
Darned booster pump went out when we came back from Houston with it.  IT's
been aftermarketed though it would appear as the box on the back is lead
lined for shielding, (it's a remote audio production truck) and a bit
weightier than the standard c50 box truck configuration. Hence I"m
having a heck of a  time finding that booster pump anywhere.

Regards,
           Richard
