If I understand what you are saying.... I had a few that I've taken all apart, and a few that I got back all together, and few that never got back together and I sold or parted out. But one thing I believe is that if you don't drive it for years, it's hard to stay on track.

My advice is to make it drive if it's been down for more than a couple years, if only with a temp fuel and ignition system, or the core truck motor, just drive it around the block. It will do wonders to keep the interest up.

I'm also from, and live near the Emerald city, but I'm likely a generation or so older, but if you would like some in person interaction I'm sometimes available. Probably a little tougher to interact with those with the common interest since the Mo Unlim club disbanded or whatever resulted in their demise.
