Things in Bryan are great. I'm actually out of town at the moment visiting family in San Diego but will be back on Thursday evening.
I've been meaning to drop by and see Brent's place. I hear he has a great collection of WWII vehicles and a heck of a museum.
Next time you're in town you're more than welcome to drop by for a frosty and some shop talk.

I guess they go for whatever someone is willing to give for em. They are a little tougher to get COE specific parts for simply because there were fewer made to begin with. I'm out your way between Rockwall and Quinlan.

I buy my sling straps from a place called AW Direct. They've been around a while, I've been buying from them for twenty years or so. Get the strap guards as well, you'll be glad you did, it will keep you from ripping-up your straps. Towing | Recovery | Repo| Safety| Service Truck Equipment and Supplies - AW Direct
