Twenty someting years ago, I went on a roadtrip to the Bay Area. For me it was a Quest For K/5 Parts. I got a Rider. It happily coincided with a wedding in the same county for my buddy's kin. So he rode shotgun. We had a great time.
In Richmond. [just across the Bay from Fremont] a local guy sold me a solid Windshield Frame and some other small. but-missing things. Down in old Chinatown an Arab/American Brother had some Blazer Hatch Locks, Relays, and Latches I needed for my Jimmy Hatch repair.

Sometimes you gotta go long to get the goodies.


Wait -- who's STA?
