Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI
Most of you know that Chris was injured very badly in a shop fire a couple weeks ago. I have set up a GoFundMe campaign to help Chris (AKA SKYMANGS, Ole Sarge) and his family with medical expenses. Please share this with as many people as possible. Chris was the first to help with any questions, lets see if we can help him out here: Chris Klapp, AKA: SKYMANGS, Ole Sarge

Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI
damn, that's news to me. Sorry to hear. I have a friend that was badly burnt at his work a year ago, he still is far from recovered. his whole upper body and head got hit. I hope Chris didn't get it as bad, esp the hands. This world has a very unjust balance.

Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI
Shawn,
I had no idea that Chris had was involved with a shop accident. That sucks. I'm not that proficient with Crowd funding and all that, but do you have an address where people could send a check to help him out? Thanks, Todd.

Let's see if we can get this ball rolling again. We need about $1900 to get the $5000 goal. Please share this and lets help out Chris. He is making some progress but is still facing a long recovery battle. Please donate here: http://gofundme.com/c49h5mjx8

Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI
Shawn great build and I hope that Chris has a speedy recovery. That is horrible what happened but glad to hear that Chris is getting better everyday. I just got my 53 5 window on Tuesday and my S10 donor yesterday so I cant wait to get started but have so many questions for Chris and you, if you have time.

Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI
For all of you kept me and mine in your thoughts and prayers, thank you. I am slowly recovering. It will be a while before I am building any trucks though. LOL

FWIW had i known i was going to have to add a vacuum booster pump on mine (for the brakes) i woulda kept the old vacuum wipers. New electrics are just ok but miss the old whoosh-whoosh sound iva had over these last 50 years

Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI
Not sure if anyone is still following this thread but I have decided to explore the market and see if anyone might be interested in buying Cecil. I have to many “toys” and Cecil doesn’t get the attention he deserves. He is basically the same as the thread build except we went back to a carburetor setup.

Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI
Id love to have that truck but way too many irons in the fire for me. Im sure you won't have any trouble selling it. I still have a dash hanging in my shop I got from Chris.

Re: Cecil the 1953 5 window / S-10 / 5.7 TPI
I may just send Cecil an auction, although I would rather it go to someone who followed the build and was a fan of Chris’ ability to merge the S10 frames with these old bodies.
