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

Yes, consider the advice an do what you think is right. It's your truck and your money and if it doesn't work out, you try again. It's learning.

Hope you stay around here and keep working on the truck. We must not forget that there are people who think that old cars and trucks should be scrapped. We need young enthusiasts like yourself to help fight them off.
