Good points. I have created some of my own problems in locating parts. Being old and married with a few health problems I do not shop in the stores except on rare occasions. I have neighbors and friends of friends out here who have had covid. Going into stores and hanging out at the counter are not in my game book right now. I am in /'near the hot zone in NE Oregon. I want to finish this truck and enjoy it. So, with a little patience and help from the forum it will come together.
Many people out here are working at a distance and helping out. Lot of other Veterans who have seen to many friends pass on and understand. Dropped off my frame and other parts for sand blasting today. Parked my trailer and the guy off loaded it. He will take it to the powder coat shop next week. Had another shop tear down the front end. Another shop is doing the rear end. All were happy to work out in the parking areas. Lot's of good folks out there in the car biz.
Be Safe, live long, tolerate the crazy old vets.... thanks to all
