Subsporter,
Where ever you go, where ever you end up, and what ever you do, you will be part of this community. Sorry to hear your situation but tinkering with the truck has always lifted my spirits.
Your thread is starting to move from the original post of moving to VA so the best place to tell your story and post it in
"The DITY Gallery" , and from there your story and your truck can make
THE "Gallery" .
Heed Mrs. Peggy's advice, she knows best.
Where ever you end up, know that there are fellow Bolters around you and are interested in your progress.
Stay humble and bolt on,
Bread
