Updated from Chris' Wife. We still need about $2k to hit the $5k goal

So naturally things have changed since the beginning of the week. He is no longer having the skin flap done until they can get this infection in and around his lungs resolved. So tomorrow Chris will be having surgery to have the fluid that developed on the outside of his lungs removed. Then in a couple of weeks once infection is not a worry they will do the skin flap on his elbow.

Every day he is becoming more aware of everything around him. Yesterday I got to tell him about what has happened since he has been in the hospital. How there was a time when we didn't know if he was going to make it through the night. It was a little hard and I don't know how much he understood. Probably more than I believe he understood.

Thank you for all the support and prayers that you all have been sending our direction.

Shawn great build and I hope that Chris has a speedy recovery. That is horrible what happened but glad to hear that Chris is getting better everyday. I just got my 53 5 window on Tuesday and my S10 donor yesterday so I cant wait to get started but have so many questions for Chris and you, if you have time.

For all of you kept me and mine in your thoughts and prayers, thank you. I am slowly recovering. It will be a while before I am building any trucks though. LOL

I have the same wiper motor setup. Mine whines like crazy. Hopefully, it'll be less noticeable once all the interior is in and the motor running. But it's pretty loud. Was this one loud too?

Never had that problem, I think you may have a defective one!

FWIW had i known i was going to have to add a vacuum booster pump on mine (for the brakes) i woulda kept the old vacuum wipers. New electrics are just ok but miss the old whoosh-whoosh sound iva had over these last 50 years

Not sure if anyone is still following this thread but I have decided to explore the market and see if anyone might be interested in buying Cecil. I have to many “toys” and Cecil doesn’t get the attention he deserves. He is basically the same as the thread build except we went back to a carburetor setup.

Id love to have that truck but way too many irons in the fire for me. Im sure you won't have any trouble selling it. I still have a dash hanging in my shop I got from Chris.

I may just send Cecil an auction, although I would rather it go to someone who followed the build and was a fan of Chris’ ability to merge the S10 frames with these old bodies.
