Oh man, this is like watching an awesome movie and having the DVD mess up 10 minutes before it ends. Actually, this is better than a DVD. Wow, what a build! I'm so sorry about your loss, but with you dedicating this build to your brother, its no wonder you are putting so much into the build.

I cannot believe the patients and skill you show in rebuilding this magnificent truck! It's enough to make a grown man cry! Make me wish I could do work like that! If I ever travel to Jacksonville I will have to look you up and see this project in person. So far I have not won anything that far into FL. I guess now I have an excuse to bid on some items there so I can visit!

Wow! I figured when I started reading this thread that by the time I got to page 23 I would get to see the truck finished. Great job! With all the detailed work I'm not disappointed that it's not finished yet.

This is a day I've been looking forward to, got the tires mounted on the rims and on the truck. I now have a roller.

Haven't done a lot around here lately in this heat. I'm thinking on doing like you guys up north but oppisite instaed of parking my stuff for the winter I'll do it in the summer and work on it in the winter. So anyway today I was able to put together a pallet of parts to be cleaned and painted. This stuff has got to go on before I start working on the cab. It is hot but I've been living here my whole life so I'll keep moving forward.

What I need is a 60x60 air conditioned garage. With that I can work but the heat and humidity sucks the life out of you here. The blazing sun compounds it 10 fold. I just hope I can service the deuce and change axle boots before the GA Rally.
