I sold my house in Dr. Phillips (Bristol Park) a few years back to move to Oakland on John's Lake. Should have tried to keep the old house - that area is just super hot real estate-wise, even now. I did keep my membership with Orange Co. Sportsman's Assoc so I can get on the Butler chain with my boat...

Anyway I'm not that far off if you need a strong back and a weak mind for any 'two-person required' vette work...

Might take you up on that. Smart move keeping the Sportsman's Club.
4+ wait right now. I live in Bay Vista Estates right across the road from Bristol Park. Keep my boat on my dock so I do not get out on the Butler Chain much anymore.

Default powerglide

I have a couple powerglide rear mounting (horse shoe) brackets.
I believe that it is for use on 55-61 models.
75.00 shipped to your door.

If you're not hung up on total originality, the aluminum case units (after about '62) have many improvements that make them nearly indestructible.

Only problem is drag racers know this and have gobled up many of them!
