Hi Sandra! I'm the guy who owns this site and I think you did absolutely the right thing is asking your question here. Asking what it is and how much it could be worth are fine questions and helping folks understand what they have and potentially connecting them with people who want/need stuff is what we're here for.
I hope we aren't snobby here. So far, you've been talking to some of the nicest, most knowledgeable folks on the planet when it comes to this stuff and they'll be more than happy to continue helping you out. If there are any other parts/trucks/etc you need help with, by all means. We love that kind of thing. As for being a "tough" crowd ... I think we would like to think of ourselves as being "tough guys" but if you hung out with us, you'd soon see how laughable that thought is ...
Except for Rustyrod -- he can be a handful at times. He once physically attacked me in a dastardly unprovoked manner but I was able to take him down. You probably can, too.
Now when it comes time for you to put a forsale tag on those parts and actively try to sell them -- yes, as Jeff said, we'd prefer you did that in our Swap Meet which as a registered user, you have full access to. Dan (GDad's51) can help with that.
So thanks for letting us help!
John
