I found a good deal on my '51 because I didn't give anyone else any specifics on its whereabouts or availability for the 23 years that I waited for it. It was not a guaranteed deal. The truck could have just as easily been offered to someone else for sale. But, I kept quiet, kept my fingers crossed, and now both the seller and I am happy. On the other hand, If I know of something I am not particularily interested in for myself, I let others know. Yes, trucks and parts are a whole lot more expensive than they were 25 years ago, but they are a heck of a lot easier to find now. It is a trade-off.
