On the way to Lee & Debbie DeLabarre's in Fort Wayne, the overdrive unit in our 62 Champ went South. I think it is toast. If anyone out there has a spare T85 w/overdrive, or just the O.D. unit (R11# in the casting of the case,) I sure could use it. There are two versions of the T85/R11 unit. One is for the 57-58 Golden Hawks, the other is made for the 8 cyl. trucks. I will look into having it rebuilt, but a good used one would be a lot easier to deal with. I need to get my poor lovely wife's truck repaired, or I may be sleeping on the back seat of my Hawk. Please e-mail Melody, respond to the post, or show up at my door with one!
I have to thank Lee for hauling Mel's sickly truck from Ft. Wayne to Cincinnati today, not to mention him and Deb hauling me around South Bend all weekend. As many of you may know, one could not hope to meet folks nicer or more accomodating than the DeLabarres!
