Thanks Mike, Jerry, & Kevin.
Mike - good to know! I can stop only searching "C60", etc. Don't get on me too bad, but this is my first GM of any older age (I daily a diesel Ford). My only classics have been a '59 Edsel Ranger & '70 Torino Cobra. Unless you count my first cars (I don't), a '66 Rambler Country Classic 4 door 232 inline 6 and a '76 Nova 2 door 250 inline 6! (young and on a budget)
Not sure if you recognize this rig from the shots I posted so far, but I bought this from up near you - and drove it to Portland without knowing anything about her! (my wife was behind me in the dually w/ my emergency tools)

Jerry, I'll look into it - I knew of a pretty good place in Portland near my dad's old shop. Haven't been down there in years, I'll see if they're still around. By the way, my other house is about 3 hours from Dellrose (Lewisburg, MS).

And Kevin, if you can make a leather boot for a Citation before the advent of YouTube how-to videos, you're more than halfway competent!

Either way, I guess I'll add the boot to my growing list of secondary needs (right next to new wheels).

Looking forward to contributing as I get more serious with this rig. Extremely rust free so most projects will be about preservation and mechanical reliability & safety (and some creature comforts while maintaining as much originality as possible. I'll post an intro and pictures to the Welcome page this weekend.

Thanks again, y'all.
