Older trucks

I've had my full of newer tricks and computer shyt lately. Still forging ahead on my 1983 D250. Restore/ overhaul. Though progress lately has been slow. Delays in machine shop work, had to find an alternate. I'm about there on paint jail as well.

I'm not sure where to find a machine shop anymore. All the shops I used to go to are either closed due to retirement or have been taken over by the next generation. Of those some have gotten real selective on what they do.
 
Man, finding a good machine shop these days is a real pain in the ass, half of them won't even touch older engine work anymore.
 
We lost frame shop. radiator shop. mom and pop auto parts store. Drag strip. 2 restaurants. 1 grocery store. electronic assembler plant. 2 Gas Stations. 1 auto repair shop.welding fabrication shop. and the Chrysler dealer now Stlantis is not doing well at all they once sold 300 plus cars a month and they sold 19 last month
