Ordered 35 truck kit 2/3/21. Sorted boxes (31) making list off missing and back ordered parts. Major items did not arrive.Steering column,spindels,rod ends for both front and rear suspension,pedal box, gas tank,and many bolts. Steering rack was not for MY kit. Very disappointed after waiting over 4 months to get such a badly compiled kit.:(

With all the discussion about parts issues, why are you disappointed? This is exactly what's happening with all kits. Shouldn't have been a surprise. The lead time is out to six months and not better yet. Spindles, among others, have been widely noted. There's plenty to do while you're waiting for parts to arrive. Make the best of it.

I can understand, but best thing to do as my recommendation after finishing the inventory, take a breath, there is a ton of stuff that you can get done until needing those pieces... I wouldn't be surprised that by the time you need them they will arrive.... I know they are working on getting parts...they will not let you hang out to dry.

I have found things to do and just completed the inventory. That was hard as many baggies of bolts and small parts opened in transit and were difficult to identify. I hope you are right they won’t let me down but so far they have. Days before my calls were returned ( to report I had a box belonging to someone else,that they sent the wrong steering rack.,That I Got 2 steering wheels but no steering column, etc.)

I would do all of the dirty work first. Drill the aluminum panels, then fit what is needed for the body. Fit the body and gap doors and install hinges. Mount bed and fit everything. Get all that done and other parts will arrive. Then you can clean up your big fiberglass and drill shavings mess and start on the build fresh and clean
