They are around $150.00 if you can use them. $200.00 cheaper than cable X! Les 1956 Chevy Panel 1969 Chevy C20 Panel Truck 1971 Chevy C-10 More pix on Photobucket "The Urban Home for Wayward Trucks"

I have spoken with them and they are willing to take their time with a novice and help you "spec out" what you need. For Sun, try www.sunpro.com/ Les 1956 Chevy Panel 1969 Chevy C20 Panel Truck 1971 Chevy C-10 More pix on Photobucket "The Urban Home for Wayward Trucks"
