I rarely post to the list these days.  This is one of those rare
 occasions I
have to step in.
 
 It is precisely this attitude that caused the rift in the
oletrucks vs
 old-chevy-trucks (yahoogroup I believe) a dozen years ago.  Rob
and
 others got all bent out of shape and couldn't stand any discussion
 about
how to mod or improve that detracted from stock.  They also
 couldn't handle
ignoring those posts.  The end result there is another
 list that Rob runs
that is strictly stock restoration.
 
 That was never the intent with the
oletrucks list.  This list is here
 to help anyone who wants to get his or her
oletruck (of GM based
 origin, we don't tolerate the F-word) into a better
running order.
 
 You don't like what they are doing?  Too bad.  It's their
time, money
 and effort on their oletruck.  Now keep your comments to yourself
unless it is an offer to buy their oletruck from them for a large
 enough pile
of money that they can follow what ever 'advice' you gave,
 or have a
pertinent answer to the original question (in this case
 fitment of '54
fenders on '51 cab).
