I've gotten a great many excellent tips from here and finally signed on. I stay in Richmond, VA and would like to hear from my fellow enthusiasts whom live in the same area, maybe get some other great ideas on updating/restoring the truck. Thank you for your knowledge and support!

I'm not one with the knowledge, but there are lots of them here. I can't believe how much I learn each time we have an event.
I am in Lexington, look forward to meeting up with you.

We're in for a real treat here shortly as BJ has put a lot of work into his '40 1 1/2 ton since February and will be getting her on the road soon. Good seeing you again Richard and very nice meeting you BJ.
