Re: 1971 Stepside LS Build
I made a road trip to LMC Truck yesterday to pick up my "final" list of parts for the build. Was able to get a little tour of the facility while I waited. Amazing how many parts ship out of there on a daily basis. These pictures are from one of their buildings where they keep the large parts and Ford parts (I was picking up premium bumpers). The guy told me that they load 3-4 FedEx trailers a day, and one postal service trailer. Who knew that many people were restoring Fords!! 
Once I made it home I began organizing all the parts so assembly will just be slowed down looking for the 10mm socket.
My radio came in. Still waiting on the Dakota gauges, AAW harness, and seat belts to arrive.
