I'm headed out to breakfast, camera batteries are charging, all the bolts that are needed to assemble the Radix 122HH assembly are here(see pic below).
I was able to source all the bolts except five from ARP through my good friend Richard(WCCH). For those last five I'm going to send them out to get chromed so they look somewhat like they belong
It's really cool to see my dis-assembly bags of bolts/small parts collection dwindling down to seven or so.

Here's my collection of ARP Bolts I'm going to use to assemble the Radix/122 kit:

Grippy,
I don't know if you've considered this or not, but with all of your great documentary pictures and the depth of your explanations as to why you did or didn't do various things, I think that you have the makings of a book on modifying/customizing a Gen III Truck. This thread needs to be archived and accessible for years to come as a bare minimum here at performancetrucks.net.

Keep up the good work!

All my best,

Steve
