I know we all like to save money wherever possible. I am getting anxious to get home and start back on the disassembly of my truck in a few months. Spain is getting old!! Hopefully, you will not have moved to Orange Beach by the time I get home...I would like to meet you face-to-face and check out your build. I started a thread on my build(s). Check it out and let me know what you think. Jason

Jason.....Thanks for the suggestion but sometimes I have a tendency to complicate things. Once my head cleared, I got on Rockauto.com and ordered a set of V-8 Trailblazer P.S. hoses (High $37, Low $17). Spent about as much on the hoses as I did running around town looking for someone to customize my I-6 hoses. Too bad they don't have fuel lines. Don't worry about Orange Beach.....it won't happen anytime soon. Moving my 89 year old Mom into assisted living next then fixing up and selling her house. Heard an old retired guy once say that after he retired, he was so busy now that he didn't know when he had time to work. I am there.
Can't remember exactly the direction you are taking but don't forget, they made 4x4 Trailblazers. Can get a good smashed up extended one and you can be on your way.
When you get home, lets get together. dug
