It was a pleasure meeting you and Kathy on your travels. We had a nice time at dinner and enjoyed conversation as well. So sorry to hear about your father passing. I am glad things are getting back to normal for you.

knomadd · 08-28-2018, 09:27 AM

Sorry to hear about your pops, Vic. Thoughts and prayers to you and your family.

a.c.ward · 08-28-2018, 10:09 AM

Vic, so sorry to hear about Pops. I know you are hurting right now, but keep the faith brother. God got you.

So sorry to hear about your Dad. I'll see you soon.

**Ol Blue K20** · 08-29-2018, 09:01 AM

Sorry to hear about your dad. I hope you get to a new normal soon.

1971_c10 · 08-29-2018, 11:30 PM

Man, so sorry to hear about your pops. Keep the faith as others have said. Time heals.

On a different note, if you had hit Deadwood a few weeks later you'd have been able to see Kool Deadwood Nights, where some 700+ classics fill the streets of Deadwood. C10s are gaining in numbers each year.

**Vic1947** · 08-30-2018, 12:41 PM

Many thanks to everyone for your condolences, I appreciate it very much!

Kathy has me somewhat occupied gearing up for some house remodeling. I shook loose long enough to get the new steering wheel installed. The leather wrap feels nice to the touch and should be more comfortable when driving. Some before and after shots below.

When we were at the LMC Truck Show back in May, I bought a set of billet door handles for CRLS. The passenger side in particular has been tough to operate with the cheap aftermarket handle I originally installed. I've been avoiding installing the new ones because I really should take the truck to the upholstery shop to remove the door panels. I'd hate to screw them up after the good job they did. Plus I'd rather not pay to have them built again.

Anyway, that's my next little project so I'll post up when there's something to show.

Dare I say..... Much better!

Jason7121 · 08-31-2018, 01:11 AM

Looks great Vic door Handel's should look nice too.

Low Elco · 08-31-2018, 08:13 AM

I like it!

**rustytruck50** · 09-08-2018, 10:56 PM

It was really nice to meet you & your Wife, Vic! CRLS is even better in person!

It was great meeting you as well. Getting to visit with people from all over and put faces to their names is one of my favorite things about shows like the Midwest All Truck Nationals. Despite the drizzly weather on Saturday morning, we had a very enjoyable time. The sun finally came out and dried up the grounds. I heard that Riverside is going to reconfigure the park for next year by changing the location of the entrance and adding some more permanent buildings. I reckon they'll get rid of some of the low spots while they're at it which should make it better if there's rain around the time of the show.

I probably haven't said it enough, but I really appreciate the support and help I've gotten from every one of you on the forum. You've been a valuable resource for me on both my truck builds and I'd still be banging my head against the wall if it weren't for your suggestions and shared experience. We won awards at this year's show for 1st in class and Best of Show, but it wouldn't have been possible without all the help. Thanks to all of you!

Vic

Wow!! Congratulations Vic!!

**Ol Blue K20** · 09-10-2018, 06:10 PM

X2 on the congratulations Vic!

**rustytruck50** · 09-10-2018, 08:12 PM

Wow!!!! That's fantastic!!! Those are well earned awards!

cornerstone · 09-10-2018, 09:41 PM

I knew CRLS was a serious contender! This is the first of many for a well deserved couple. Congrats to both of you! Is that behemoth of a trophy going in your shop Vic?

1971_c10 · 09-10-2018, 11:25 PM

Awesome! Congratulations Vic! Well deserved!

swamp rat · 09-10-2018, 11:26 PM

Awesome!!

JayMc46 · 09-11-2018, 09:47 AM

Way to go Vic and Kathy! Nice to see the win.

knomadd · 09-11-2018, 09:53 AM

Congratulations Vic! Well deserved for sure!

Low Elco · 09-13-2018, 08:06 AM

Congratulations! The end result is just stunning. It was great to see you and Miss Kathy again.

**Vic1947** · 09-13-2018, 11:04 AM

Thanks for the kudos, everyone. I appreciate them very much. Only a few cruise-ins left this year, plus a swap meet that Kathy insists I attend, so I guess I'll have to figure out what comes next. For the next month or two, I'm tied to the home improvement whipping post. With Dad gone, we're replacing some carpet, tile and hardwood, plus painting some interior walls. Not my strong suit, but we'll get it done. The dumpster company dropped a container in the driveway this morning before we even got outta bed. So I guess I need to get busy filling it up.

mcbassin · 09-13-2018, 04:03 PM

Awesome Vic!

Low Elco · 09-14-2018, 08:40 AM

Are you going to the KCI show? Always a fun one.

tune_1 · 09-14-2018, 04:10 PM

Great to see the win.
