Who got the custom BRAT bumper/hitch off BRAT at Little Johns salvage yard, Ft. Worth, TX???? Off the brown Gen 1, 79 BRAT I almost took it, but I decided against it. Someone worked hard to get it!!! I'd like to see who else has BRAT's in the area. Todd

I don't have that emblem.....all mine are stage 2. Todd

78 and 79 would be good too! (Up to 81 Gen1 BRAT) Don't leave us behind! Todd

GL's had: 4 headlights wheelwell trim tach 4 spoke steering wheel lighted ashtray lighted cigarette lighter AM/FM radio cloth seats clock 1978 really didn't have a "formal GL" (silver dash) 1979-1981 "formally" did have GLs Todd

I have to get moved back up to PA.....I miss all the fun! Todd

I'm from Williamsport. Family all still there. I have a cabin in Waterville, PA. and go to it fairly frequently. I hope to move back there in the near future. I need some acreage and an older farm home to restore. (Out of the flood) (All Gen1s will be sealed in a ziplock bag from NOV to APRIL! LOL Todd

YES!! In the trunk, you will find plastic, black panels, that cover the rear of the trunk, tailights and wires. Basically, it's just trim. I need the passenger side, but would take both sides if they were there. Also, would take the instrument cluster. Pretty easy to get out too. Front mud flaps too. Have any pics? What condition are the doors in? They fit Gen 1 BRATS and have the steel reinforcements in them that the original BRAT doors didn't have. Someone may be in iterested in those. Todd

Can this be done with Gen 1s? Can you elaborate on the process? Todd

I might try the scale thing....but I might not be able to see the numbers. (I have it crated already). Todd

Anybody know the weight of a "fatcase", EA71 longblock? No manifold, Only the complete block, the heads and the valve covers and oil pan. Thanks so much. I have no way to weigh them and I need to ship! Todd

What is with these holes in the blocks! My 78 had a thrown rod. I have seen a few others with that golf ball size hole right behind the distrib. Guess that's the weakness with high mileage, age and no oil! Todd

Hmm...seems like yellow was the color for many of the automatics! (Including mine) I know they were not the best sellers back when they all were new. So I would imagine there are only a handful still on the road. Todd

Guess pretty rare! No responses Todd

I just watched "Wisdom". (I had to order the movie!) The Gen 2, 78, 4WD wagon gets TONS of exposure! It's like a star in the show. Heck....they even have sex in the back in one scene!! You Gen 1 guys have to see this movie! Oh....the story line kinda ties in with TODAY's troubles in America! Todd

Just doing a simple survey. How many of you have, or know of in still in existence, (not in a salvage yard), any Gen 1/ stage 1 or 2, AUTOMATIC transmission car? (Any body style). Obviously they would all be 2WD, as the 4WDs were all 4 speeds. Just trying to get a feel of the rarity of these cars. Thanks all! Todd

Can he sell the cars complete? Todd

All the factory tach needs is one lead to the coil. The cluster is grounded with other wiring on the 2 round plugs. I have never seen a box next to the coil, unless you are talking about the electronic ignition box? Todd

76 wagon! 76 Coupe! Stage 1s are rare! Can you get some pics. Interior/Exterior? Does the guy have titles? Will he sell? I have someone who would be interested in the coupe and I might be in the wagon. Thanks, Todd

There should be a short yellow lead on the gauge cluster. It is screwd onto the cluster. You can add one if needed. It's in the upper right rear of the cluster, as you look at the cluster from the front Todd

There should be a yellow wire taped in the gauge wiring harness. (You may have to look for it) 75% of all Gen 1s have it. You may be in the 25% that don't. That wire, if found, fits on the loose lead on the back of the cluster. If not present, just run a wire to the + terminal of the coil, from that lead on the back of the cluster. Todd

Okie dokie...just let me know what you find. Regards, Todd

I'd take the left tail-light. Be sure metal divider, that fits between the turn and brake light is under the lens. I'd also be interested in the metal/rubber divider, between the rear bumper and the body. Also, the passenger side tin, splash shield, under the radiator. It fastens to the radiator support and the wheel apron with just a few bolts. Todd

This was a problem on all Gen 1/ Stage 2 cars. There was a recall back then to address this. They added in a new heavier fuse. If you look at most Gen 1's fuse block wiring, you will find the plastic to be either melted somewhat, or REALLY melted. Try pinching together the small cips that hold the fuse and reinsert it. Remember, resistance generates heat. Todd
