Got to love the internet

I had a 71 several years ago and drove it with the hopes of fixing it up. Parts prices back then kept me from doing much. I didnt ever hit any swap meets and the only part sources I knew of were the high dollar shops.

Now thanks to the internet, this forum, craigs list, etc, I have been able to make big improvements to my 1970 in a short amount of time.

So far I have found, a sterring wheel, door panels, mirrors, seat, gauge cluster, and various other parts thru the internet.

What I thought would take me sever months has taken just a couple of weeks to get the parts I needed (at a price I could afford).

I really should find a cheaper hobby, old trucks and jeeps are expensive.

I use searchtempest to do all my craigslist searching. You put in what your looking for and the distance you want to travel and it searches all the craigslist within that distance. Makes my life so easy.
