I just got myself signed up for the forum. I received my 35 extended cab truck on Feb 2 from Stewart transport. They were a week late delivering as they were stuck in central Montana due to weather.
I have the same issues with the missing/backordered parts but it is also compounded by the fact that I need a Canadian completion kit to add to the package. The Canadian completion kit includes the majority of the front suspension, the brake lines, fuel system, fuel lines and the firewall. I am still waiting for delivery of this completion kit, although I ordered it shortly after I ordered the kit from FF5.
I am also seeing the same problems as others in that critical parts are missing, such as the support brackets and fastener pack for the fender/running boards, the rivet package, the foam inserts, the rear suspension control arms. I think the most frustrating thing is not being able to get responses from FF5 or my supplier of the Canadian completion kit about anticipated delivery.
I have come to a complete stop on my build as no matter were I try to go, I am missing some critical part that stops me from proceeding.

Welcome!

So given that you received your kit from Stewart and also needed the Canadian completion pack would I be right that you're located in Canada and went across the border somewhere to meet the truck?

And if so where are you located?

Welcome! Like Earl, I'm in Canada as well but over the West Coast.
Surprised at the firewall being in the Canadian completion kit, it wasn't in the past...

Look forward to seeing more info/progress on your build

I didn't have any issues dealing with Valins for my completion kit. Now that being said when I ordered it back in mid- Jan Ryan told me it would be ~ 4 months before it gets delivered to me. Not a big issue, I'll have lots to do with the rest of the kit that I hope to be picking up at the end of this month/early April.
