Nothing but respect and admiration for what you did here, both in craftsmanship and as a caring human. Searching for a solution to a similar problem brought me here, though fortunately it's nowhere near as severe or extensive, but stressful nevertheless. But on a much younger vehice (08 F-150!). One that I saved for and spent enough on that I'm still stunned by the problem and that it was even physically possible. Not that I had warm and fuzzy feelings about the way our society is set up and structured prior to this, but it was a stark reminder of the absolute relentlessness of the Kafkaesque labyrinth that is a car society and late capitalism. Ran by the same goverments that just effectively banned the import of actually affordable electric cars from China the moment they appeared on the horizon. To prop up a worthless domestic auto industry that demands $60,000+ for a new gas truck whose shitty design will have its second or third owner searching for videos like this in 10 years, an industry with no desire or will to change. That we pay taxes to to salt the roads. Anyway, great work and all the best to the owner. It looks like your efforts will get them to wherever they're hoping to arive and likely far beyond.
