Re: [FWDLK] 61 Dodge Production

I had a Chevy Brochure on Police cars (since sold on eBay, I think). 
They had various packages. Basically they started with a 2" tube from 
the truck to behind the dash. This had a pull rope in it and it was for 
running the wires from the truck to the radio and suchlike in, on and 
around the dash. They also had wires built in for the Federal Bars and 
spotlights. You can order different packages with things like Rear 
inside door latch and window controls delete, spotlights, various 
brackets for certain radio/radar equipment, and optional 
engines/handling packages.

I have a "good 'ol Boy"  a mile from me that completes New Police cars 
to order, takes in trades and rebuilds them for smaller (Limited 
budgets) police depts. Always has 15-20 sitting around his shop along 
the road. He has quite a business.
