Maybe your message was intended for the original poster. If not....
I do all my own work. No shop will touch my truck. Granted I had the drivers side repainted and I wished I had done it myself. Places like Oregon fuel injection rebuilt a VP44 for me. That is about the extent of subbing out work. I prefer to do everything myself every time. I am set up for just about everything. So I can only blame myself for all the new parts when all I needed to do was open my eyes and see the poor condition of the battery terminals and corrosion. They look good now.

It was for the OP. Sorry about that! I hate posting from my phone. I try to do as much of the work on my truck as I can but I find that as I get older, some things I let a local guy I trust work on my truck. Once I get my shop and home built on the other farm, I will have a much better place to work and get back to doing most of my own work. At pretty much most of the way to 70 years old, working on my truck, tractor, and other vehicles & equipment is not getting any easier.

I totally get it. I just hit 60 and now I have to size up things like a trans rebuild etc. Takes me a day or three to dive in. I'd rather be sitting next to a river holding down a chair trying my best to decide when to put the next log on the fire...LOL
