LMR here in Houston does alot of the LS powered stuff. Check out some of the videos they have on you tube. They test drive cars past my job at over 200mph.

Man you are building a pretty slick truck. I am normally not a big fan of 1/2 tons, they have been done to death IMHO, this truck however has some very original ideas in it. I am pretty impressed.

I must say I am a bit envious, that you are doing this project for your mother, not because you are getting to to build the truck, but that you have such a close relationship with her.

Fifteen years ago I kicked my mother out of my life, I haven't spoken to her since. All I know about where she is now is that recently she got out of prison.

The pedal cars for your kids are an awesome thing as well. My dad did stuff like that for me when I was a kid, in fact I had this little powered 3 wheeler I'd ride around, well dad made me a goose neck trailer to pull behind it. It was great and funny now 22 years later my current project is a 1 ton dually and a goose neck trailer.

Projects like this are a great influence for your kids. If you get them out into the shop with you and you teach them the skills you have, they will take them very far in life. There is no reason you have to choose between your family and your projects, teaching your kids about cars is something that will create memories they will cherish some day when it is you who is not long for this world.

I wish you the best of luck on the build, I will be following to see how it turns out. That and I hope your mother is just too awnry and stubborn to let a "little" think like cancer keep her down.

Sorry to here about you and your mom. I agree with you with the kids. My kids are still a little young but I have showed them some of the little stuff in the garage. I am planning on building both my sons and my daughter c10's. My son wants one forsure but my little girl wants a pink 60s caddy. Just have to wait and see were life takes us.

No offense to the guy that owns the cover truck but I think they should have put Pops truck as the main one on the cover.
