Best of luck with the sale of your Dad’s Monte and thank you for your service.

I see you have a 516 area code. Are or were you from Long Island?

Is it a 70 or a 71-72 fender? 1970 is a 1 year fender and 1971-1972 are the same.

Looking forward to it. Always a work in progress, looking to make it bigger and better every year. We will have some new members joining us too !!!

If you gut is telling you something different than head, walk away. Unless you can buy it for the “right” price and repair or replace everything that needs correcting you may be opening Pandora’s Box and draining your bank account. Paint and body work are quite expensive and sourcing parts and shipping is costly and not as easy as pre Covid.

From reading other online forums, the Chevy Astro or GMC Sierra mini van brake booster fits with the tall valve covers. It’s supposedly a bolt in replacement.

Yes, trailer maintainance is critical item to be done for a safe trip with your Monte aboard. I replace my tires every 4 -5 years (even if they look like new) and carry 2 spares, 1 per axel. I do my brake and bearing maintainance or replacement, check all electrical connections, lights, lubricate all locks and hinges, charge and check or replace batteries as needed break away device and cable, and give it a good cleaning and repaint as needed. It’s a full steel open deck trailer. I always add grease to the bearings with a grease gun on each trip. I have never had bearing issues or failure. I have also added a wireless tire temperature and air pressure monitor system to each wheel. A cheap way to detect rising tire temperature and high or low tire air pressures. A small monitor and screen can observed and parameters set up from your tow vehicle. It has a built in solar panel or rechargeable batteries to power it up. It’s normally under $89 dollars on Amazon. I think I paid about $30-35 dollars on Prime Day.

Rob, Let me get Wayne to the Syracuse Nationals this year and prep him for the Eastern Meet at Carlisle next year. Wayne lives local to the Syracuse Nationals. We’re looking forward to seeing his Monte completed and joining us.

Most of the Marina’s in the NY Area have there moorings and dock space ready from April 15 - October 15 give or take a 1-2 weeks longer or so depending on the weather. The birds come North first, then the boats.

The BFG’s have a manufacturing issue with the white letters turning brown and their prices have taken a major increase. The Cooper Cobras are a comparable tire without white letter browning issues for a much better price. I currently run a 255-60-15 on 7 inch factory rally rims in the front and 275-60-15 on an 8 inch rally with 5 inch backspacing on my Monte SS. Factory height springs with no clearance issues. My 2 cents.

As we know Willie, that’s definitely not a New York price !!!
