Don I honestly do not remember buying a transmission from you or Richie. I do know I have never sold any transmission's of any make or the like. If you say that I have a transmission that I got from you in the last three years, and I need to pay you, I will not argue with you and pay for it. Most of my life I have always given away or just lent items to ole car owners since I do not like being an sales person of these parts. For years I was an physical fitness "nut" type of person, then one morning I was struck by a car ( which failed to stop at an inter-section ) while riding my bicycle. I had an injury produced stroke. I do not sling my arm or drag a leg. I can not dance or ride a unicyle due to balance issues ( I could do this very well up to the stroke time ). I say this so some of the readers who have limited knowledge of this can ask someone who has more knowledge of this and will be able to understand. I hope none of you ever go through what I now live with. I just went to look for an "M-6 Transmission". Yes I have one. How much do I owe you ??? If you feel as if I may be "dragging my feet", please remind me what I need to do. I am not angry with you for showing me that have problems, it is not your fault that I may now have them. Rodger & Gabby COS

Richie I just sent an email to another. As of this moment I do not know what we had to do with each other. Here is part of the email. " ... I just read all the sagga of this and see I am now marked as a scum-bag. In last April, three years ago I had an massive stroke and spent 12 days in the IC Ward here in the Colo Spgs Hospital. After that they had me in the Stroke Re-Hab Ward for almost three months. Some parts during this time I needed my wife to help me out with what I was doing and etc. I still rely on her for "blank periods" that may have happened in the last 3 1/2 years during that period. " If something has happened that has left you feeling that you was wronged during that time. please contact me ( this may mean "again" to you ) and let me know what I should do. Another Issue I see that I was pinged for not having to much to say of about me on the personnel part of this site. Instead I have always said with every posting that I am Rodger and that I live here in COS. From time to time when others have said they are on the road, I have openly stated the door is open and they can stay here. Rodger & Gabby COS

Hola Guys I believe the issue has been solved. If any of you want the details, just email me ( not PM ) and I will send them to you. Rodger & Gabby COS

Hola There I purchased four "baby moons' to put on my De Soto. Once I got them, I felt they looked "wrong" for an De Soto. Then my neighbor across the street saw them one day when I left the garge door open. One was removed from the original packaging and it fit his 1949 1/2 five window "pilot house" wheels as if it was made for them. His son wanted to give them to his Dad for Christmas ( along with a MoPar 6 volt radio that I have ). I still have the "baby moons". ( ... Due to the Christmas request on the radio, I had it completly re-built for Christmas ). Rodger & Gabby COS

Sir We went away and just got back. I want to think you for the scans. The first page is the answer that made me happy. Rodger & Gabby COS

Hola Banning Person Here is an link for some 1953 Plymouth Hy-Drive information ( ... http://www.allpar.com/mopar/hydrive.html ). Do take note it also has an link to the parents M-6/ Fluid drive. Our M-6 shifting De Soto has the 3.5 ratio rear axle and 215 x 75 x 15 tires ( they fit correctly in the "spare tire well"). Rodger & Gabby COS

Hola All For a while MoPar made and sold the MoPaR 800 Model Radio. These all have the seven control buttons as the 802's. Are there any of you that has any factual information on this radio ??? I had one completly re-built for my neighbor's "to be" Christmas Gift, that never happened. Rodger & Gabby COS

Hola Pick-up Truck Person If you had to take "baby steps" all day long your travels would be limited too. It's that 4.10:1 ratio. The closer to 3.9 or to 3.5 you go the lessor the engine rev's. But as you do this the carrying ( aka load ) and towing amount goes down. Rodger & Gabby COS

Hola Kevin The short blocks are the 23 inch 218 and 230 cubed engines. The long blocks are the 25 inch 228, 236, 251 and 265's in cube's. Just measure the lenght of the head to know long or short. There is an machined boss near the generator which will show the maker of the block and the size. Due to several dozen good reasons, the original engine may have been pulled and the replacement could have been an _______ from 19____ . Rodger & Gabby COS

Hola There Was the Chrysler long block always used with this series, or is there an since 19_____ production starting point ??? Rodger & Gabby COS

Hola To All I again will be at the same location at this swap meet. The in-door space is from an member of the Rocky Mtn W.P.Chrysler Restro Club. If you do stop by, look for an white pop up tent. I have the front bumper from my gone away 1967 300, but no 1947 Plymouth ones. Last year some folks that I know left their winter jackets with me while they where in the meet. This time I'll take some hangers. Rodger & Gabby COS ps 9-10 Feb 08

Hola Ed This subject has been on my mind since you started it. Then I remembered that I have had an 1934 Chrysler News, AirFlow Extra. This original flemsey & thin eight page printing has been with me several years now. All I rebember is it showed up in the mail one day several years ago. Here is some of the scans that I have done of it. Rodger & Gabby COS

Hola Class I have known about Bill for about ten years now. He may have only "joined" this version of the board ( like myself ) because he was going to exploid if he did not answer the question. If you happen to have or have an interest in the Imperial Division, the Forward Look era MoPars, The De Soto's, the Post War Chrysler's ( 1946 - 48 ), the 1961 - 71 Dodge Trucks or whatever, Bill reads the postings. There has been a couple of times I have asked him directly about an engine or whatever cause I knew I would get the "real deal" from him vs ... I beleive ole Joe once said. Me thinks to ask him about his vehicles is like asking the local Judge if they have an Black Cape. Rodger & Gabby COS

Hola Ed When dis-counting the 323 cubed straight eight, remember they were only in the Saratoga's ( aka low end New Yorker's ), New Yorker's and the Imperials. The Common Chrysler ( Royal's, Windsor's or Traveler's ) with the six was priced and marketed to an potentual customer that had less income. The farm hand or clerk at Penny's ( and most other folks ) did not have enough income for one of these cars. As you know the De Soto's were moved to be above the Dodge's and below the six cylinder Chrysler. This lasted until the "cheap FireSweep" with the 122 inch wheel base of 1957. Rodger & Gabby COS

Hola !!! I did this all for learnings sake. Thank You. Rodger & Gabby COS
