I went with Goodyear reproduction radials from Kelsey through board member Smallhurst on my '77. I am absolutely certain I made the right choice, even at $366 each shipped, plus $60 set for mount, balance, stems.

[TA455HO]

Thanks Craig, I'll look into those F60 Polyglas tires.

Bob, whitewalls might look good. I'll look into that, too!

Here's a few more items. I'm ready for that new windshield so I can glue my mirror support to it.

Craig asked before - I actually do have a RH door handle.
Mike - I need an NOS 9827571 for the left side.

I have almost 3,000 miles on the Polyglas GT I installed on my '71 Trans Am. No complaints here.

[TA455HO]

Thanks Dennis for that vote of confidence in the repro Polyglas GT.

I drive a bit spirited. Somewhere probably between Craig and my Uncle Ken Petersen mentioned here, although they misspelled our last name in the upper text - it is correct below in the list of championships won.

Wiper blades and inserts were mentioned in another thread and there are some good reproductions by now I would imagine.

If I said these were NOS would you believe me? Both ends of each blade have the

TRICO
MADE IN USA

stamped opposite to each other - meaning one is stamped 180 degress opposite to the other end. Nice clear stampings as you can see.

9664093 10.146 All F Trico BLADE (18'' long) 2 1970 1975 **10-1



But, an even smaller detail is that the inserts have this molded into the rubber. The one further away is more in focus.

U. S. PATENT NO. 2697241

Click on this link to read more about that patent.
https://patents.google.com/patent/US2697241A/en

Originally filed in 1950 by Trico Products Corp and published in 1954. If you keep scrolling down you can see all the related patents. Some are.

Trico
General Motors
John W Anderson
etc.

And notice the Description ends with Anderson Company, Gary, Indiana.

That's ANCO, one of the other big players.

I wonder if the reproductions include the patent number?

A friend of mine has a super nice '73 T/A, and it has the 210/250 temp gauge.

This Super Duty has the 210/250 temp gauge...

The info from Formulakid in post #9 here was interesting reading to me.

I'll get one of these fixed up here with the 210 and 250 numbers.

I do a little bit of spirited driving and actually enjoy the feel I get from the polyglas tires - seen here with wide ovals.

So it is the longer ones. Just trying to see if they repackaged the shorter ones as the longer ones at some point even though they were two different numbers.

[TA455HO]

That's good to know. I wonder if the chrome shop I use will deal with the used door handles? I've removed the return spring on one, but other than that it doesn't seem like a lot more is easily disassembled.

Here's one of the horn button extensions, used for many years, of course. Just showing the listing for my car.

[Bentwheelbob]

Your car should have the longer door handles so the NOS ones are correct.

There was also an obscure AC oil filter used on 1967 Pontiacs only..

I always thought it was funny that the MPC's had to say "front door" when listing parts for "F" bodies.

Got any NOS grease to go with those ancient wheel bearings? Those things look like they came over on the Mayflower!!
