I have considered keeping in in a safe they are so hard to find:):)
Holy cow what a score! I wish I could find some for sale. I'd ask if you wanted to sell it, but seeing the caliber of your build, I already know the answer.

Haven't posted before but watching the build. VERY meticulous work, impressive to detail and thought.

Holy cow man, (Starting from pg.1) You really went all out on that.
Is any of this Genuine USA made or All Aftermarket???

Where do you buy one of those Cab carriers?

:lol: What does "Genuine USA made" even mean? I think if someone is dead set on restoring a truck with all "USA made" parts and supplies, you should probably just give up before you start. No such thing in the modern era.

This build is incredibly clean and detailed. I like it.

I really like this coolant vapor/crossover line. Where did you get it?

I dont know that exist any more. I just bought a Genuine GM AC/Delco control switch for my dual tanks. Opened the Genuine GM AC/Delco box and there sat a Genuine GM AC/Delco switch that proudly displayed a shiny gold "Made in China" sticker on it.

Delphi is still an OE GM supplier from the states. I use their stuff over AC Delco when it comes to electronics.

Just an FYI, Delphi Automotive is now Aptiv PLC. The original Delphi Automotive split into two companies in December 2017. Aptiv and Delphi Technologies. Aptiv is the automotive connectors and electronics part now. Delphi technologies is the vehicle propulsion and aftermarket solutions company.

Not sure if you mean the one with black tires or red....either way, I fabbed them both up. The red one is the frame cart previously seen, I just added the wooden 4x4s.

But seriously, are you talking the frame cart or the cab cart? The frame cart is for a shortbed and now won't be used again for a while.

I would be happy to loan it out to someone "somewhat" local.
