Since I have established relationships with 2 body shops: the one which painted the 'mostly-preped & primered' 60's truck I bought, and the one I used for my 21st-century cars, I made an appointment with each. My 1st appointment was at the 21-century one @ 1:30 PM where I live, and later at the one that painted my truck @ 2:30 in Richmond (where I work).

The result: I do believe that no frame damage was done! Why: On a lark, I decided to open the driver's door before I drove it to #1. It f-ing opened - on the 1st try!!! I don't understand why!

My next surprise: The 21-century modern body shop guy said he'd buy my truck, for his daughter. I made him an offer he accepted, so I'm no longer qualified to be a member of this forum!

I'm thankful for the valuable advice over the 5 years I've been a member. And I've even discovered, via trial and error, some recommended info for others trying to use truck (aka, 'car') covers with these trucks, if they care. It ain't easy!

All the best!
