You used to pray that the guy you relieved wasn't Gorilla Monsoon, because if he jacked that sucker up HARD, you needed help to get it released!If your relief was a minute man, you would jack it up on him, to bust his .... chops! The buttons came IIRC with the Flexibles. 9000 series I believe, but I might be wrong. The ones I remember had both ratchet and air valve button. GMC Old Look and Fishbowl were ratchet only. Oh, and the old Flex's, GM's and Blitzes all had NO power steering. |
