I have 3.08 in it now and actually isn't bad but will probably go the next step down (3.42 IIRC)

We'll see what we can do for a video

Thanks! The move is nearly done, man what a pain. Where did all this stuff come from?

No giant shop for me this time but a very modest single and double garage. Going to be tight but better than working on a pad in the sun.

Rented mule...

Settled in yet? Anxious to hear how the truck is going!

Guys, sorry for being gone so long. Had some life changing (Devastation) events and now I have to make some more changes (Reform).

In July we lost our littlest granddaughter. Needless to say I was on the next flights out of Afghanistan. I have also now left my high-danger-high-pay work as well.

After all the expenses were paid it became clear that I need to sell my toys. I will be selling the D&R truck and all the other parts and pieces I have accumulated over the last three years. I will be listing these shortly in the appropriate forum categories (please respect forum rules and ask questions in those threads, not in this thread).

Thank you all so much for your support,

Blake

Thanks Guys. It was really hard but we got through it. I have been checking in from time to time and hope to keep on hanging out here - great bunch of people here!
Maybe someday I will get back in the game but right now I need to take care of family. Maybe I can find a worse one to bring back

Thank you for the kind words,
Blake

Thanks guys, your very kind words mean a lot! God is truly good and merciful, He really is a present blessing in our lives especially when going through times like these. I pray He will bless you like He has us through this time.

I would bet the drive shaft is a little short. It looks like a six cly drive shaft. very dangerious there my friend.

Even the chicken knows that something is wrong with the brakes.

I will take the 350 intake manifold,if it is still available. Do you take PayPal?

The title of your build thread caught my eye and I read it even though it's several years old. Very enjoyable read and funny. Very difficult to read the news about your youngest granddaughter. And respect all the changes that you made following that. I've seen that you have checked in some over the years and hope that you all are well.
