Raul, I was on the forum and you came in to my thoughts. Hope your doing well and looking forward to your return. Text me if you need anything. Thoughts and Prayers buddy.

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

Raul - Just sat here and read through your entire build and, while I am new to the forum and don't know you personally, I wanted to let you know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I've only been a member here for a few weeks but I'm constantly amazed by the support of the board members - whether it be for a build or lifting up tons of prayers for a personal need or concern.

I truly hope you're doing well and look forward to seeing you back on the board. I found this thread by reading about the the work you and your friend, Al, did on his truck. I'm totally inspired by your generosity.

Keep your head up! God bless you and your family!

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

Oh man, my heart goes out to you. I've been blowing through this build, trying to catch up only to get to your tragedy. My Pa is 72 and has had a few blows in the last year that really took me off guard. I don't know what I'd do without him around. I'm truly sorry friend.

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

Raul, my deepest condolences. You and your family are in my prayers.

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

Thanks everyone I know for a fact Raul is getting all your messages and he appreciates them. we speak all the time and little by little he is coping with life a little better. He will be here posting soon...

again thanks for all your prayers and messages!!!!!!

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

How you doing Raul? I hope all is good.

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

We didn't give up on your build. We knew you'd be back someday. I'm glad that day has come! I'm sure your dad would be proud of you for getting back at it.

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

Welcome back!

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

We didn't give up brother. I'm sorry for your loss and glad to see you back.

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

Not sure how I missed this thread but I love the truck. I'm building a similar setup but not as nice and sans hair dryers.

Took me most of the day during breaks of working on my stepper but I'm now caught up.

Sorry to hear about your dad. I lost mine to cancer 8 years ago at the end of this month. My truck build is kind a remembrance of him and my grandpa.

Can't wait to see the progress now that I'm following along.

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

Welcome back Raul. Looking forward to following along again. I'm sure you'll make you Pop proud.

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

Glad to hear it. Keep us posted on your progress.

Re: 1971 c10 stepside

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

Glad you're back brother man. I have a friend with an ST I that's highly modded.. it is scary fast.

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

Glad you are back Raul. I love the truck and congrats to you and your son for going to collage. I am sure you are a proud dad.

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

thanks guys , its been a few busy weeks but i got some small updates , a couple a weeks ago i rented a truck and emptied my storage where i had most of the truck parts , all back in my house now ,

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

This truck is going to be so sick .. I can't wait to see it finished up.

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

as i installaed the cab back on i really didnt like the way the engine sat as it was way forward and u could see a big gap , and in this pix the cab still had to be moved back another inch or so . well i decided to take out the engine and use my old brackets and move it back , i had to do some mods for the compressor to work and i will havo to do some more mods on the steering rack and an idler pulley , it is what it is , but now im really happy where it sits, next front sheet metal goes back to start mocking the turbo pipings ,see before and after pix

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
 

I'm excited that you are back on the truck, can't wait to see some more updates.

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
