Yes be patient. They are a small business that is having a hard time keeping up with all the orders that are flooding in. They do all their own building of the dashes and door panels that get fully built with all the trimmings. They also do all the dyeing of all the plastic parts that get color matched for your trucks interior. And all the colors, will match. And they have all the colors, not just 4 generic colors, like the other places have.

I’m not sure, you’ll have to call them and ask them. I’m sure they can, since they dye everything themselves, in house. Plus to do custom colors.

Well I tell you, this illness is kicking my butt. Today I went out just too looks at my truck. I got so weak and shaky, I had to come back in from the garage, and sit and rest. So here sits my truck waiting to be put back together

Damn fine looker! Even if she's a little out of sorts!

Re: My 86 build

UPDATE!! Finally got a Diagnosis. It is a rare autoimmune disease, Doctor says I’m a 1 in a million. It is called
Autoimmune Glial Fibrillary Acidic
Protein Astrocytopathy. It’s a mouthful. It is rare, there really isn’t anything on the internet about it.
Last week, doctor had put me back on Steroids, and they are helping. I’m probably at about 60%. So I stay on these for about 3 months and then wean off, and then see how I do. I may have to take them longer if the symptoms return.
Now the bad news is, I have to be watched very closely for cancer. They checked all that when I was in the hospital, so we are ahead on that, no cancer was found. If it does show up, we have a jump on it!! The other thing I need to watch closely is getting pneumonia.
Total weight lost over the 3 months,
30lbs. And I hope to keep it off and maybe a little more. Taking Steroids can make you gain weight.
Sunday 2-23 was THE 1st day in 3 months I could actually get out of the chair and do a little something. I took some truck parts that I had piling up in the garage, out to my seat shed. Took about a half a dozen trips, back & forth. I took it slow and it took about 3 hrs. It felt good to get out and get some fresh air. It was sunny and in the 50’s. So Steroids are my wonder drug!! Can’t wait till I’m back to 100%.
