Went to Carlisle today. Suppose to rain on Saturday, so I figured I do it today. Anyway, was disappointed as there wasn't hardly any truck vendors. I did get to The Truck Shop out of California, and bought some parts. Had a good size list, but they couldn't fill much of it. How can you go to a big show like that, and not have the common items. I did get my bumpers though and a few other parts needed. That save me on the shipping cost. They are getting $100.00 each for the bumpers. As soon as I got home, I call up the Truck Shop and ordered the rest of the things I needed. I wasn't going to call them, but they do have the bests prices I've seen for what I need.

Good luck on going there (Carlisle). I'll wait and go to the Nats. in Aug.

If they still have the Truck show in June/July thats the best time for truck parts at Carlisle. If the truck shop is coming back one year whn I was there they had some orders for people they had brought with them. This was a few years back
