Maybe a episodic rental agreement with free delivery and pickup? Then all we would have to do is dicker over the price.

$1979?! That was expensive, I've got a used one for $100 if you're interested.

I've been working on installing the electrical system on my '51 Suburban, and I had been using ChatGPT to assist. It's very interesting how it "scrapes" the internet for answers. Numerous times it referred me to this Forum, which I thought was a good response. However when I asked it create an updated wiring diagram to combine my '51 Suburban 6 volt original layout with a 12 volt one where it included an GM mini HEI distributor, one-wire alternator, turn signals, etc., it came up with the attached. I'm having a little trouble following the diagram. Any help would be appreciated!

What's the problem? I was a GM factory rep for 30 years makes perfect sense to me!

There's no rule book, it was a first for me. Lots of measuring and planning. Lots of fit up followed by re measuring/tweaking. Explaining everything could get heavy but here's a quick overall. I used the factory 40 axle in the rear, built a triangulated 4 link using a combination of heim joints and bushings. clearanced the frame rails for the axle just enough so the axle rests on the frame at the desired lowest frame height (it cant go any lower) 8" pacbrake air bags in the rear. Set the rear ride height with the bags at 35 psi. Set the ride height with the front bags at 65 psi. I did my best to determine the overall airbag height at my pre determined psi before I started mounting and building anything Used the factory front suspension. lowered the knuckle supports for a static ride height drop. I had some 7" pacbrake air bags and mounting plates left over from the rear of a toyota pickup i used that in the front to start setting up the bags. Pacbrake air bags are solid and affordable up north here. I'll have to get some photos together. The steering is all factory and connected, swapped steering arms from left to right. Gave one arm a little heat up and bend. Steering may need to be improved and tweaked, time will tell as things progress. I will have to tighten up that loose old steering gear box yet. And on and on and on
