Please see my complete build thread from this Forum for all details of what became a frame-off resto-rod. My last post lists all put into this complete frame-up build (& have a 3-inch binder with all receipts and any non-factory replacement parts instructions).

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...=747394&page=5

This was to be my last big project I had been putting my heart and soul into. But I have been dealing with more and more personal health/mobility issues from neck & lumbar in spine, to arthritis in knees, hips, & hands, and neuropathy in feet too. All have finally taken all the fun out of this project - just too much hurt going on now when I try to work on truck. Physical Therapy and a knee replacement helped, but I now know & understand my chronic limitations are only getting worse. It is what it is.

I do not expect to get even half of what I invested in parts and/or any of my time spent working this project. Truck is basically 95% complete and I just can’t finish it. I would be happy to share this project with someone whom could appreciate it for a reasonable price and take it on making it theirs.

I will be adding pictures to build thread this Forum as (and if) I get more completed. Anything I removed that can be used or sold like original factory HVAC goes with truck, and maintenance manuals, etc.... Also have more AMSOIL I have for next couple engine oil changes and transmission service, as well as Coolant in radiator, and Freon for A/C goes with truck too.

Looks like it has a big block in it. Is that correct?

DJ I hope you get to feeling better. I suffer from many of the things you speak of. I know how you feel. I am sorry you have to forfeit one of your passions. Hopefully the new knee will help you out. Here's too better days sir,
Pete

New R knee has helped - it now supports me - just no kneeling and stiff.

Other issues due to spine (head to butt) I have been dealing with thru traction and waiting on injections now all on hold due to COVID lock down. Doing what I can from home with inflatable traction device, exercise, and stretching, etc.... With all the impressed responses and questions this past week to how I did this or that from various FB 67-72 Chevy Truck Pages with add I posted --- motivated me a bit and I started working the few problem issues again. I am posting things again on build thread. ;)

IF, big IF, Someone comes up with $$$ and not just talk - I will consider SOLD and moving-on. Is what it is, but still would like to get 'er completely back together. I have good days and bad with pain issues, doing what I can to mitigate and hoping for the best --- God willing I may still get this done and just may be be able to drive it too. Keeping fingers crossed. :waah:
