Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB

Hey Keith,
I don't know you from Adam but I have read your build site. I currently have a 1970 C10 SWB, step side I am building. You have given me so many ideas, taught me a lot and by seeing you do things you've never done before & making it look easy gave me the confidence to do it myself. I want to thank you for that.
I want to tell you about a friend I got. A few years ago he was helping somebody (It seems like he was always helping people). Some other guys around town didn't like him & would always want to stir things up. One of them told a lie on him. He got arrested & found guilty although he never did anything wrong. They killed him. An innocent man that only wanted to do good. That's not the end of the story. Yesterday I remembered Him. As you probably know by now His name was Jesus. The reason he died was for you & me. He who knew no sin took on my sin so I might live. The reason I told you this story is to let you know that whatever you are facing right now you don't have to face alone. Read John 3:16 & Matthew 11:28-30. This is the answer to ANY problem you have. I'm praying for you.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB

Hang tough man. I would love to see it finished too but a guy has to do what a guy has to do. If you do have to let it go, think of how fast you'll be able to get where you are now on the next one. Like you, I've been learning a lot of this on the fly. If I could rewind I would approach it differently for sure.

as many have said already, we have really enjoyed following along with your build and the determination you had to tackle things you have never done before. Just remember, these are only material things, and i'm certain things can only get better for you. praying for the best.

Keith, my thoughts go out to you and your family, keep your head up because a truck is simply a truck, its nothing that cant be replaced at some point. Take care of yourself.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB

The road from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain is never a straight line. Stuff happens. Stuff gets bought as well as sold. Keep in mind "it's only stuff".
We do what we have to do or think is the best thing to do at the time. Move on.
You will be fine, and "LIVE TO BUILD ANOTHER TRUCK ANOTHER DAY".

Usually it's the setbacks or bumps in the road that make us stronger, smarter, and "who we are".

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB

Keith, I believe that things will work out, one way or another, for the best. In the long run, whatever happens will be for a reason, and likely have a better ending than the path you didn't take. The forum will be here, and I'm sure most of us will still support you, project or not. My prayers are with you. Hang in there.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB

Keith, whatever had set you back there are many ways that could be worse. I believe you will find a way to make it all work out. You have a lot more than money invested and there are other things that are more important. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers as you work through this.

You know we are here for you if you need to vent...
