Re: Sad Days Coming
I told my son that i would build a truck with him. But I told him he can never sell it. He has to give it back to me and get his own. He is only 8 right now so we have time.
![]() Where dose your son live here in the Bay Area? I am pretty much smack dab in the middle of SF.

Re: Sad Days Coming
I just watched the guy drive it away and he was really happy. He told me that it was great not being disapointed by a lot of promices and no delivery. I will say I had to take a couple of deep breaths when I saw it leave. A lot of memories drove away but I guess I will always have them. He got in it and is going to drive it clear back to the bay area. I figure he is going to give it a 13 hour test drive. I pray it serves him like it served me. It never left me stranded on the side of the road.

Re: Sad Days Coming
Adopt you? Couldn't he just give you a wad of cash and call it quit's? So much easier on everyone.

No I didn't, I wasn't thinking about much of anything else besides it leaving. I guess I could call him and tell him about the website. JRBECK64 |

Re: Sad Days Coming
I just talked to the guy that bought it and it made it with very minor issues. I guess the Bearings in the Diff were howling a little but he said it drove like a champ and he is completely happy with it. He made it from my house to the Bay Area in 11 hours. Not to bad for a 46 year old truck.
