Hi guys, Can anyone advise the best quality tail light sockets I can by for my 66 Canso. I've had the tail light housing rechromed years ago, I have recently cleaned up all the wiring and was about to solder up a new set I ordered from HotRods & Classics in BC and they won't even stay in the housings. I h...

I noticed on the '69 Acadian brochure that Carl S. has advertised elsewhere on the site, they refer to a third shift pattern that appears to be 2-speed, labelled as "Torque Drive". How is that different than the regular old Powerglide?

Hi guys, I'm looking at replacing the rear body wiring harness for my 66' Acadian ( for the rear lights & gas tank sender).

I found a rear seat from a 4 door 66 Chevy II and I'm wondering if it will fit in my 66 Canso SD ? I realize the seat corners are round instead of square like the 2 door seats but will the rest fit ? Thanks, Crazy J
