It's the best pace to ask about local Texas resources from folks in the region.  Someone should be along soon t offer some advice or help.

Can't recall his name...Jerry (HotRod Lincoln might know). Aside from that, not much. There's a shop down near Fair Park (Central Dallas) named Blaine's but I have never used them and don't know about their work. Nice guys on the phone. City Motors once did some work for me and it was terrible, so I don't suggest using them. The man I used who did good work disappeared in the night. No idea where he went.

I knew one of the best pull truck/tractor builders in the southwest, Jerry Janke, but he was in the El Paso area, and that was over 40 years ago. Jerry would be in his late 80s by now.
