The good news is that it is a pretty rare bird these days.
The bad news is that it's a pretty rare bird these days, which I'm sure you've already found out. Take care to not discard anything in hopes of replacing with new or better condition.
I see from your profile that you're into kyaking. I've done a bit of white water rafting myself, and given your location, you have a fabulous resource in your own backyard! Go for it before you get to be my age. The Colorado is still on my bucket list, too late now.

Thank you! Yeah, I'm definitely seeing the scarcity of certain part and pieces. I'll try to restore what I can, but I know it's going to be a long term project. As long as I can get it running, driving, and stopping, I'll be happy. Everything else can come later.
As far as the river goes, you can still kayak the lower Colorado below the Hoover dam. It's usually not too bad and lots of hot springs. There is a kayak club near me, and most members are retired, so if you can move, you can float yourself down the river!
Thank you for your service!
