FMX, gas struts are the things on hatchback cars and truck caps that hold the hatch or tailgate glass up, they look like a hydraulic ram but much smaller. Engenjojo is right, Fleetlines of that era have internal hinges whail all other models didn't. Also, I'd suggest that instead of using a door popper kit for the trunk, get a trunk release handle from summit that works just like newer car trunk releases, just pull it from inside and a cabel operates the latch release, it's much less complicated and a lot cheaper but, if not, get a trunk relese kit for electronic latch, there meant for trunks and are cheaper.Last edited by Matt167; 11-11-2004 at 04:15 PM.

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
