The first hit I got was on the &#8217;61 grille and trim rings, and that sale is pending. I had a guy stop by yesterday to buy the roof rack with his son, and we wound up talking in the driveway for an hour. He&#8217;s got a Travelall body on a Durango chassis and his son has a &#8217;61 Travelette. They looked through the other parts and he wound up buying the chrome from the green truck. I enjoyed talking with the two of them, and passed along a bunch of links and contacts for parts, window installation and upholstery. The father is considering the tailgate, and told me he&#8217;d get back to me. I&#8217;d love to get that thing out of the backyard. Finally, I&#8217;ve got a guy in Idaho interested in the steering ram setup, and he&#8217;s coordinating with his brother in Towson to come and pick it up.
