Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
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.

Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
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.

Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
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. ![]()

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

Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
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?

Re: Crusty Rusty Leaky Squeaky 67 Step
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.
