Thanks buddy. What a life huh?

**The Rocknrod** · 04-19-2020, 11:38 AM

I'm in Iowa working right now. So I had some parts sent to me here:
Brackets for power steering, AC compressor. Steering rod for my next purchase (Ididit chrome column). Gas & Brake pedal, fittings, tube shield, using ARP fasteners for some stuff.

**The Rocknrod** · 04-24-2020, 05:28 PM

Got the Ididit Chrome Column in yesterday.
Took some measurements that I couldn't get from anyone else. It would have been nice to have in case I wanted to buy a less costly unit.

You have been telling me how much you like my truck for a while and I have never gotten the chance to tell you how much I like yours and am eager to see it done.
