Re: What did you do to your truck today!

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

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. )

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

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.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

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.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Made a headliner for my truck out of "printed copy's" of my autographed magazines. The cover of each mag is autographed by the person on the cover.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Well, I spent all day in the rain last Saturday putting in my 700r4 and Dana 60. Had to make a track bar, since the Dana 60 bar was too short, so I used the HO52 bar. Sunday buttoning up some stuff and installing the Bowtie Overdrives EZ TV cable system. Today, I got my freshly rebuilt and shortened drive shaft in, and then came inside because it started raining again. Tomorrow, I will finish it up, cross my fingers, and hopefully go for a drive!!
