Mine was in the format month, date, year, so 4 11 83 makes the most sense. April of 1983 it seems

DWO=? I’m not familiar with that acronym.
Driving without insurance, without a brain?

A VERY common term from Seattle and San Francisco due to the POOR driving characteristics of these people

Do you think that K members were built a year in advance of build time?

Oh.
Iowa sometimes stands for Idiots Out Wandering Around, and I’m sure Lincoln and Omaha drivers look for rural county plates.

If it works as well on the bushings, as it did on the ball joints I might have a shot of Gentleman Jack tonite to celebrate....
Lost my shade and it got hot ( florida) so the attempt on the bushings will be later this afternoon/early evening....
Stay tuned......
MIght just put in Yellowstone season 1 in the DVD.... Just finished up with season 4 ( Go Jimmy) and I can't wait for season 5........

I ended up using my ball joint tool to do the bushings on the control arm for my SN95 last year. It worked ok. I made some spacers to keep the control arm flanges from bending in. LOL I started watching season 4 again last week myself.

No clue.

I’ve found most parts on these cars tend to be within 2 months of the build date. For instance my car was built April 10th and things like the block and heads were only cast 2-3 weeks prior. The rear axle was assembled a month prior.

I wouldn’t ponder about it too much.

No, I won't, Makes me think it was maybe replaced at one time??

Well, it looks like my ball joint remover will not work removing the bushings... at least not with what I have.. The "C" frame flange needs to be bigger or the parts smaller... darn it..
I remember trying this on a press or a vise one time and having the same problem with the flanges bending inward.... I went to a muffler shop and the guy cut me some exhaust pipe the correct size and that fixed it....

Has anyone ever used a tool like this before to remove bushings?? It looks simple enough to work?
