I read this entire thread feeling a little for both parties, then left it and found myself thinking about it too much so I have to jump in here aswell. #1 I thought the purpose of this entire forum was to share helpful information towards the use and restorations of these cars we all seem to...

I am impressed with all the help offered in this dilemna for this gentleman , but then thats why we all belong to such an organization and spend our free time checking in on it. That said, I'm equally amazed at all the slamming from some members towards GTS services for charging for their time...

You can be mad, you can be jealous,but the reality of the entire situation is very simple. When any item starts getting the attention of investor type people it always starts to increase it's value. The smaller guy does recieve some benefit. Until something has some increasing value potential...

Did you ever get an answer to your original question as I am looking for the same info. I can't find an original late 68 hurst stick anywhere does anybody have one? This would be the radically bent "C" shaped stick

recently joined the group upon discovery of this great site after being frustrated trying to find parts on E-Bay. I 've been a mopar fan since high school and thats been a couple decades. Wish I had that 70 super bee back. I own an aircraft restoration shop, so am always working mechanically...

As someone else stated the AN stands for Army Navy as in army navy standards or what is now MS, military standards. All aircraft use these fittings so you can go out to your local airport mechanic and if they aren't too busy they can either help you or teach you to get you started. they are...
