Welcome, Ryan!  Glad you joined.  

How far west?  We have a map (Bullnose Forum/Member's Map) and can add you with a city or zip.

Let's see some pics of your truck?

I am in Livonia, NY. I bought the truck from Dessert Valley Auto and had it shipped out to me.

You are now on the map.  And shipping it from the SW explains how such a solid truck survived in NY.  It didn't.

Most of any plastic how ever is turned to dust.

Yep, that is the tradeoff.  The plastic back then, and maybe even today, wasn't UV tolerant so it becomes hard as the plasticizer evaporates.

Actually the best place for buying these trucks is up in Dane/Grumpin's area, the Pacific Northwest.  They don't use salt on the roads but also don't seem to have the intense sun of the SW.
