Looking very nice there ! .

Did the grille fit easily or was there moch fooling with it ? . mine is all beat up if still fairly shiny and I want to replace it but I keep hearing horror stories about the repop grilles with " CHEVROLET " stampings .

It was in the low 40*'s this morning @ 0-Dark:30 when I left out , my heater didn't warm up for over 5 miles so mayhap I have the wrong thermostat in there , it might be a 160* from when it lived in TEXAS .

I normally run 185* or 190* F 'stats as the engine runs far more efficiently when it's as close to boiling as you can keep it .

well not today but the past few days.. I got the posi installed and finished cleaning and painted the rear now,I gotta install all the new brake hardware.
got the rest of my stuff back from the blaster,now i really got my work cut out for me. who says you cant put a short bed frame in the back of a s10

I only had 12 mi. round trip to get too the blaster and back and it was all back roads so no worries

Sorry to hear of your loss, I lost my mom last year to it, & 2 grandparents the year before. At least they're all in a better place. Luckily, Our Lord loves us more than we can imagine.

Sorry to hear about your uncle. Cancer is horrible. My wife is battling ovarian cancer stage 3C right now.

Thanks. He fought this since August of 2011.But the last 3 months was pure h... for him.He thought he was winning and then one day the big lump came back furiously.

Hate to hear about your wife.How is she doing and you.Pm me if you want so the thread doesn't get side tracked.

Went to the Uncles house to check on the Aunt,Sherry.In the mean while his other truck came up and I guess it WILL be home next week.I had been saying I was going to get it but he never did get title issue straight,but its going to next week.

blasher · 12-23-2012, 04:45 AM

Thanks for sharing. Hang in there Jason.

dlh760 · 12-23-2012, 09:59 AM

Sorry to hear about your uncle. At least he's not in pain anymore. I know how hard it is to lose family to cancer. I have lost several family members that way.

I've lost several family members to cancer. I feel your pain and I'm sorry for your loss.

dhaymaker · 12-23-2012, 10:53 AM

Jason - Sorry for your loss. It's hard to lose someone we love and it's even harder when dealing with such loss around the holidays. Hopefully, with the love of your family and with many good memories to help you, you'll get through this. You and your family will be in our thoughts in the coming days. don

VWNate1 · 12-23-2012, 11:07 AM

Sorry Jason ;

Remember : Uncle Stan will always be in your heart & memories .

jayman68 · 12-23-2012, 11:29 AM

Jason,
Sorry for your loss, Hope you feel your Uncle's spirit close, He wants you to be happy.

PAWS 72 · 12-23-2012, 12:41 PM

Thanks guys. I really do appreciate the thoughts. He didn't suffer any at all. He went to sleep yesterday morning after taking some meds and Sherry said his breathing kept getting better all day. they started trying to get him up about 5:00pm to eat and he wasn't responding. they called the nurse and before they knew it he quit breathing.

I don't mean to carry on but I am really upset and need to get it out.

the family says to say THANK YOU very much.We know he ain't suffering any longer. Jason

PAWS 72 · 12-23-2012, 12:41 PM

It went though finally.Tried 3 times

ole dollor · 12-23-2012, 09:44 PM

very sorry to hear of your loss. god bless you and your family..

ChrisWhewell · 12-24-2012, 01:05 PM

Last week I put in a new speedo cable, hurray I finally have a speedometer.

Also optimized the initial, mechanical, and vacuum advance components of the dist.

Lastly, installed two dynomax 17747 mufflers, and a stock-type black Q-jet air cleaner.

So now its quiet, powerful, and extremely fuel-efficient.

mud.man.rj · 12-24-2012, 03:05 PM

Sorry to hear of your loss too, last year my Mom left us at the start of December, just seems strange when they aren't around at Christmas now. God is good though, always has and will be.
