Brandon, I dont know your situation but if you can you should keep it for sentimental reasons.It sounds like a super nice truck thats almost done.Why start over later on?

Sorry to hear of your loss.

Brandon,

I too wish to express my condolances over the loss of your grandfather. I lost mine just over a year ago, and we (along with my Dad) shared many experiences working on my old bombs. Luckily for me, he was a automotive mechanic for most of his long life...including a stint as a Diesel Instructor at Nashville Auto-Diesel College. Yep, he was quite the 'The Master' when it came to wrenching. I will forever treasure all of the tools and 'Motor' manuals I inherited from him....as well as the skills and knowledge he imparted to my Dad and I.

Although the autos we worked on together have been gone from my life for many years now....since his passing I REALLY, REALLY, Really wish I had kept a couple of them now....just for the memories.

Somethng to consider....for later on.

Peace...and welcome to the forum.

Brandon, my thoughts are with you too over your loss. But in regard to the truck, if you don't feel like finishing it right now, find a secure place to park it and leave it there until your grieving is done and you are ready to work on it again. Trust me, you'll want to come back to it and see it finished - for yourself and for the memories you have of working with your 'gramps' on it. Once it's done, it will mean that much more to you. If you sell it, I think you'll be kicking yourself in the long run!
