Oh, I don't think anyone was being rude or anything, far from it. I can
very much appreciate someone that takes their truck back to stock. I get a
real kick out of Billy Bob's site for one. And I can't imagine the costs
involved with trying to find some of these very hard to find pieces.

Not sure if this is a compliment or an insult ;-) .... I've spent more
money than I care to list getting that body back into shape. At one point I
figured if it would be over $3000 I'd just buy a fiberglass cab from US
Body source (Glad I didn't now). But I know now in the end I will have a
cab that won't give me a problems, I've seen too many people buy a truck
and then have rust start coming through their nice paint.
