That is great news!
Thanks for all the replies, I am relieved! I was also tickled pink to see that Rovers North carried the replacement posts. I will be doing some of the prep work and getting instructions together...I am the worlds worst welder so this won't be a time for me to practice...then I'll be forwarding all of this information to a coworker or a neighbor for the welding portion and to "help". I'm a great sandwich maker/beer fetcher!
If you have any other tips or tricks I'd love to have them so that I can fully explain what needs happen to get these posts installed correctly.
Luckily, this is the only "major" steel repair that this truck needs. Once I get the ole boy running straight (and just enjoying driving for a bit) then I'll start prep for new posts.
