Hank!,  I happened to be at Lon's the day your order was packed......

I figured..you and the Ms's...10 cases of "Milwaukee Tumor Liquid"....every 
spare part available......all the parts you don't any any more and are willing 
to trade for BBQ.........3 picnic baskets [ 164qt. size]...10 cases of 
napkins......and the BEGINNERS MANUAL !!!

Lon had a new set of front coils for his MACK truck laying 
there.......GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Way to go!  
Do NOT  cut the coils.....stiffer for sure!.....pop the old ones back 
in...car was on blocks for 15 yrs.....they're still probably fine.....
