LMC Awesomeness
Since I started this project, I’ve spent more than a few bucks at the Long Motor Corporation. LMC sells just about everything you can imagine for ’73-’87 trucks. The use lots of exploded views in their catalog too, so if you find your self with a bunch of random parts and no memory of how those parts went together it can be a super handy resource (assuming you don’t have a shop manual – and a lot of times the LMC views are better in my opinion).
Ever since my renewed push a few weeks ago to get this project completed, I’ve put in a lot of orders with them for the various parts I needed. That included new bumpers, carpet and sound deadening, paint, door trim, seat belts, cab mounts and various other items. Basically, everything that I have been putting off buying for the last few years. Apparently, I made them pretty happy because they sent me a hand written thank you card.
I think I’ve crossed the line of no return.
(EDIT: Ok, I just received ANOTHER hand written note that looks exactly the same. So probably anything over a couple hundred dollars gets ya one. Still, it’s pretty cool!)
