I remember in Pomona at the uplander hotel Herman Chapman had a station wagon with 7 or 9 inch rear tires with the 402 combination he finally decided the 9 inch tires were better as the 7 inch tires were a hand full on the top end after qualifying number one on 7 inch tires ,needing to pull the pan to check the bearings and no one had a cheery picket but there was some telephone repair people with a huge crane like device so herman paid them to bring the truck over to pull the engine out to check the bearings , wow it was I think a lot of fun those days . i used to change the convertor in the parking lot and never thought any thing of it lol at "youth "
