  Hi again--think I sent this to the incorrect place--sorry if an individual
received this! :)

  Hi all!
  Thanks for the information and fun postings!  For those who went to my
website y'all probably realized I have a bunch of interests! :)  I am on a few
other lists, but this is the first for corvairs and/or trucks.

  Mugsy will be happy when his face his fully restored I'm sure! :)  Thanks
for the info on the windshield possibilities.  I'll do some research with
these suggestions and sites and see what I come up with.  It seems to me that
back in 1991-92 when I first got my little rampy truck back in the Teller
fold, I saw windshields for around $100 (previously owned, hah!).  Too bad I
didn't have the money back then huh?

  I'll have some money loosen up a teensy bit the end of January and so
perhaps I can figure out where I might get the windshield and do that next.

  I was just "shocked" to say the least that the fellow (Felix) had the truck
engine running (haven't tried the tranny yet so not sure about that I guess)
within a week or so of his getting the truck delivered to him.  But now he's
had the truck for a year and it's time I started putting more money into it.
I would just love to tootle around town in it.  Plus haul the few things I do
to collector shows and such.

  And Merv, thanks for the invitation to send Mugsy to you! :)  It was kind of
a fluke I think that I found him again--I wasn't looking and that was probably
the reason.  In fact, as I recall I paid $300 for him (no key, no idea if all
engine parts, etc., were there, and of course the bench seat is toast and
tires were awful), but when we tracked the ownership of the truck and I also
saw the little gash on the lower rear passenger side panel where my dad had
backed into something, it wasn't a wonder that the truck was indeed my dad's
original one!)  Now that I'm on this list, I'll be constantly reminded that
Mugsy needs work!

  Thanks for the warm welcome as well.  My dad and brother both though I was
crazy when I bought the truck.  Too bad I couldn't get it moved and work done
on it before my dad passed away last August 2002.  HOwever, my brother has
taken up where dad left off with teasing about the truck.  My brother is 9
years older than me and has "awful" memories of the truck--he said he had to
drive it when he went on dates! :)  Hah!  That would have been fun huh?

  Anyway, thanks again.  I'll try to not to tie up the list with other stories
about the truck.  But would love to hear other peoples' stories of how they
came to get their truck or van.

  Does anyone remember the Dodge version of the truck at the time?  Or was
there one?  Perhaps only the Ford Econoline was it that was similar to the
Corvair?

  Thanks all!

  My best,
