John, sad to see the truck go...but I understand there are other things in life we all have to do, accomplish or experience.
I am glad I met you, and want to say "thanks" for the help you have offered and given to me.
Good luck with your shop, and definately stop in every now and again and say "Hi". You don't have to own a 73-87 to hang out here, you just have to have the passion.
Take care!
