GOOD SCORE there ..... Midland Texas ...... sun is tough on stuff, how much would a storage locker cost you? Might be worth while? I used to live in an apartment but it included a small storage locker in the rent for things like seasonal storage or veh stuff. There's also Craigslist?

I have a "U-pull-it" about an hour away I need to go visit some this Spring. I used to visit them some in the '70s and early '80s a lot before they got so bad, had about 4 near my home town (within an hour) .... lots of fun but I also took a 22 or 38 with snake shot. Had one down at Long Island (Va.) called "Frank's Place" and the owner Frank Hodnet got to know me and a couple buddies well enough he let me take my truck into the yard .... It was fun to browse even if we didn't buy anything .....

The junk yard i go to is about 45 minutes away, and i don't want to get stranded. i hope i don't have to postpone to long.
I'm gonna be in Dallas from May 18-21 for the Dave Matthews Band concert. If ya want, We can meet up one day and I can show you my progress. I have completed everything except for switching the column shift to a floor shift (and I didn't get a dash, my truck is a DD and can't be down for long). I hope to get that put together this coming up weekend. Have fun

that would be pretty awesome!!!

i ordered the brackets from tasca parts. 70 dollars with 2 day shipping. hopefully i have them by Wednesday or Thursday because those are my days off. wish i had weekends off but my job doesn't permit it(retail)

hopefully next week i go pick up my dash and i can start taking everything apart. i don't mind if i can't drive my truck for a while because i have my 1994 chevy beretta that i can drive.
