Welcome Aboard, I have the '56 Buick wagon, we spoke in paso of '06 for a few minutes breifly, you were looking for a water pump or something I beleive?

Too bad about your club buddies not helping out, I know that feeling.

One more thing is, I noticed you were a pan dragger, my buddy here locally has a shop and steve the paint guy is a good friend of ours and now his original Pan Draggers Desoto is in the shop getting a rebuild!

Good luck on the Buick!
