Yep,I added weight to driver seat and alky tank to get it as near to actual operating weight as I could ,then reweighed it before ordering .

I've used anplumbing.com for years and always been happy. The last 2 orders though have been slow ship and not shipped complete. This time it will be 2 weeks getting the order completed. BS. Everything should have been here yesterday to complete the fuel system for the efi. But noooooooo,it'll be next week before it is all here. I think I may be looking for a better supplier next project.

I've had extremely good luck with Summit and Jeg's.  The only hurdle is figuring out how they use the Aeroquip, Russell, or Earl's number in their stocking system.  Rarely have they ever back ordered anything and you can't beat the speed of the shipping.....

I use jegs and summit all the time but they don't have all the weird stuff. For me ,jegs gets stuff here in 4 days and summit about 6 days. ANplumbing .com has always been about 5 days to a week and about 10% cheaper than either jegs or summit. I did get a shipping notice late last night showing usps priority number and balance of the order will be here Saturday. That's more like it,only 4 days. Perhaps lately they are just having employee issues,it happens.

Summit is only 2 days for me as it comes out of Reno.  Jegs is usually a bit longer as it comes from Ohio.  You must live in the middle of nowhere  ;D

All kidding aside I was just offering up options but then why am I not surprised you already thought of them.................

Summit is always 6 days for me and since I'm in the middle of no where and Jegs is also,Jeg's is fastest of all. Of course,there's always next day air,$$$$$$$,in a pinch. Thanks for the suggestions though! I really like the anplumbing.com website shopping , easy to find everything,saves a bunch of time ordering and they've always in the past been really reliable and as fast as summit is for me. Hope they work out their issues. I will say the guys were a bit upset sounding when I explained what I have experienced the last 2 orders.

Plumbing stuff for me sucks, because most of the time you have to build and get everything placed then see which fitting, angle, adapter you need.  Then I usually have to make another order or stop by local place.  But Summit, if ships from S Atlanta warehouse is next day. 

But what caught my eye was.
