Even some who have the skills may want something that is at a higher level than what they can build in a home shop with the available time they have to work on the truck.
For myself I like to receive all of the input. When I have a need or a problem I am looking for the options and potential solutions. Many times I may think that the only option is to buy something; sometimes someone will suggest making it and provide some advice, pics, dimensions, etc. on how to make it. And that works for me.

In this case, I would not have the ability to build an entire frame, but I would appreciate the input and admire the skill and ingenuity of those that have far more fabrication skills and experience.

I will say this is a pretty friendly board and most people are only trying to help. I have received great help from people on this board when building my truck. I am also on the Corvette forum - many days that is a whole other story. The norm is expect to be attacked if you ask a question that someone thinks you should already know the answer to and if you post a pic of a mod to your car be prepared to be told by some that they don't like it and you are an idiot for doing it. I still get some good info from the Corvette forum, help others where I can, and there are some great people there, but you have to sometimes put up with a lot of crap and negativity along the way.
