The price on everything is outrageous these days . When i first started working in a car dealship twisten wrenches customer pay rate was 7.50 and hour , the working man was making between 2.50 -4.50 and hour . On flat rate we got half of the shop rate warranty work was a buck less . then in 1970 it went up to 12.50 . I left the service dept. in the spring of 1970 to become a parts manager and a HUGE pay increase of a whoppen 26000 a year . In 71 the shop rate went up again to 14.50 and warranty work was 13.50 . Now as for parts prices oh lets not go there . We had a really slow week at the dealership and everybody was just setting with not much to do I was bored and just for kicks i sat down and looked up every piece that went into my new 71 Duster piece by piece and priced it out at dealer cost . Now keep in mind that the window sticker listed out for a shade over 3500 and when i hit the total key on the adding machine the price of parts across the contour was well north of 42000 buck , yep 42000 bucks , Give me a break here talk about making a profit. Checked it three time over and yep that was the price for the parts across the contour to hand build a 1971 Duster 340 wright down to the last nut and bolt.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
