thanks to everyone. never been so welcomed on a site before.
I got to drive "Gretchen" home yesterday. She was running fine till the old fuel filter clog right up. Changed it and drove around a little while, runs and drives very well. Noticed a little more rust in the floor boards so I found a guy with 3 cabs that he says are very solid with doors and windows. Going to look saturday willlet everyone know if he has alot of parts worth looking at.
thanks again we really feel welcome
