Ron,
What is it they say at Home Depot? "you can do it, we can help". Don't give up, there are literally thousands of folks on this site to help you. Out think the truck, you'll feel good when you overcome this little bump in the road of brusied knuckles.
As far as Joker is concerned, all you have to do is look at redryder and you know he can work on this old iron quite well.
Stuart.
