joehobbs; another avenue to prepare getting back on the road might be:
1) Shop around for another truck, Craigslist, GSA Auctions, Public Surplus, GovDeals, GovLiquidation...
2) Advertise your truck or parts for sale (pending insurance settlement) see if any buyers make offers...
3) On Oahu, I've only seen three Gen 1 trucks one each in Kaneohe, Waimanalo and mine in Kailua... There are probably more, a few maybe..?
4) In the long run, it's probably cheaper to buy something already fixed the way you want it than to pump money into fixing it up yourself... Sellers often take a loss especially if they pumped a lot of parts & labor to make something nice...

Have Faith, better days are ahead...
