Christmas Day found my wife and I at my parents house. The stockings were placed with care near the tree, and there I found truck parts waiting for me. My mom and dad had ordered me a pair of cab corners. Upon returning home I tried fitting them up and they look pretty good. Especially compared to the gaping holes they're intended to cover.
But this was not to be then end of Christmas surprises. Today I got another box of goodies- this time from Mike, with some help from Will: A set of door mirrors, a set of new pedals, and the gas filler neck grommet! These items will be safely stored away until I'm ready to use them.
To begin the floor, I still need outer cab floor and rocker panels. I've been searching the Internet to try to find the best prices, and I plan on going to the Webster Auto Swap Winter Extravaganza in February to see about picking some of it up. Years ago Uncle Mike was able to pick up rocker panels there cheap, perhaps I can be so lucky!
In case I have not expressed my gratitude enough for these gifts, I want you to know that I sincerely do appreciate them. (Don't think that I don't like the other non-truck-related gifts, it's just not what this blog is about!)
Merry Christmas to all!
