What no magnet?

I've always gotten straight info from Ron about 67-72 trucks. I know a lot of truck rebuilders that go there. I know people that work or have worked at other part stores here in KC. I've seen those people in Ron's store buying his parts. I know, not from Ron, that other 67-72 part store owners seek information from him about these trucks and the parts for them. I recommend them to others all the time. I keep some of their business cards in my truck for when people ask 'where do you get your parts?'.

If he's such a good guy, why should I have needed a magnet???

Don't worry, I don't wake up every morning thinking of ways to get back at him. Live and learn. I'm not still angry about it, but if someone else brings it up I'm going to give my $0.02.

I don't understand, but it's not my concern either, why you wanted a used bed anyway?

Well, that's irrelevant but I'd prefer to have OEM stuff over repro. (I had to modify one of the repro bed sides to make it fit right). If that bed was as “nice” as he claimed, I would have been very satisfied with my purchase. If I had painted that bed and taken his word for its condition, I would have had rust popping through the paint and/or cracked filler within a year. Then I really would have been pissed!
