Well I drove the Zebra around a bit today. Couldn't make it to the shop do to a state trooper donut convention in the lot next to my shops entrance.
I did call and get a quote for a new windshield, gonna cost about $150 plus taxes and such. Not bad, I still haven;t heard from the one guy that wanted to buy the truck. I plan to slowly fix and repair the damage, until either someone buys it or its all fixed.
I keep a sharp eye out for parts but I can't find anything close by or cheap. Seems like most of the trucks I find locally were cast at Ft Knox judging by the prices.

Yeah I have the title in my name.
I have been looking nonstop for a truck to get parts from and lately I'm thinking maybe its best to just get another truck and pull parts off the Zebra. Just thinking, even if I get the parts there no telling what else I'll find wrong once I'm able to pull the door and rest of the fender off.

Yeah I got it back for free.
The guy that wants to buy it is waiting on some sort of settlement. For the time being I will just slowly work on fixing the truck if I can locate good parts in the area. So far all the parts I can find are 2+ hours away.

Well I thought I found some great deals on Rockauto. I found a fender, headlight, turn signal, hood hinge, and headlight bezel all for ~$105.....then I looked up shipping....$100 to ship one fender. That's one and a half times the cost of the dang fender itself....The search continues.

I was all set to go ahead and click buy until I saw the shipping cost. That is completly unreasonable. For that much i may as well pay freight shipping and get a whole truck shippied in. Seriously my 68 coupe cost me about $700 to ship all the way across the country and they want $100 to ship ONE fender a few states...
