My old boss called a place in Chicago for later model parts. The yard told him they didn't have the part on hand but could get it by morning and what color did he want. He declined the offer.

I did the same thing. Looked pretty normal to me, but that was in the daylight.

I'm going to pass. I don't feel like it's worth the risk. The little voice in me is saying this probably isn't a good idea. Something else will come along. It's spring, time to drag something home. I also have the new trailer and it needs to be put to use.
