    I'm pretty sure that this question has been asked before I just can't seem to find it again but who knows of a good truck builder close to Kentucky.

    I'm not sure of the dealership, but a FL dealer is assembling new Columbia gliders with n-14s out west of here.Somewhere in western IA or eastern Dakota and Nebraska. Fitzgerald's did too, but in Coronados instead of Columbias.
