Casey, you have to have a thick skin to hang around here. The guys here have hundreds of collective years working on these old trucks. They will not lead you a stray. In the garage forums most are serious motor heads. Some take it a bit too personal when questioned about their advise (I can be one of those) and get a bit testy with their replies. You have to take it with a grain of salt. Remember it is your project. Weigh all the advise and make your own decision what direction to take. If the thread gets out of hand as this one may have, just stop posting to the thread and go back to your project. When another question arises make a new thread in the appropriate forum and repeat the process. Hang in there buddy, it will be alright. shake
