I remember one year I was hard up for a steering column. There was one in Texas somewhere but, being in Canada was too far for me. Sure enough, Cletis brought it up with him to Kansas City where we met up.
The other thing about him is he tells it like it is. Lots of knowledge, especially GMCs, I don't recall ever getting incorrect info from him.
Not afraid of long road trips either. Good on you Cletis.
