Don't get me wrong, I love Carlisle, for us east coast guys it's the biggest truck show around. The fun part for me is taking my 71 on the 3 hr trip. I went on Saturday, and yes I saw just about all of the parts Special-K listed, but it's still not like Carlisle of years past. The good rust free stuff and NOS parts are definitely drying up. Maybe my definition of good rust free parts varies from other peoples. There wasn't many of our trucks in the show and yes I did walk the whole place. As for the aftermarket stuff, that's what LMC catalogs are for, a swap meet should be good used parts.

of course thats my opinion and I could be wrong ( I usually am )

Later, LUCKTRUCK
