The Truppi-Kling Briggs Chevrolet Chevelle had a Vitar transmission.

Back in the summer of 74 I came to see Vinny about a leak in the neck of my B+M 10 inch convertor. He said Paul I'll see what I can do. After about an hour of cutting, grinding and welding he said it's done and charged me 9 dollars. I left there thinking if he would take care of a B+M convertor like that what would he do for his own. Three months later I bought a 9 inch J style from him. That convertor is still in my 63 Plymouth and has never been repaired or replaced. I still have the Vitar stickers and I'll try to post a pic of them, Paul.

Hey Paul, Here it is...the famous decal.

I still had a few of these, and apparently some were found in Vinny's basement. I thought some of you would enjoy seeing this.
