thanks for looking thru my build... long story, but i was on my way down to see him for his birthday the 18th, so we could go to south florida to get the new short block for my truck... he died on the 15th, sad situation, but...

last year he beat cancer, and i took care of him all thru chemo etc. we drank whiskey every night, smoked pot every night, cooked out on the grill, hung out etc. etc. all great times, he would have been 82 LOL cool old man

thanks again!

naphtali5725 · 03-24-2016, 09:57 AM

still going for the short block right after the 1st so at least i'll have it once all the red tape is done

Happy Easter to all if I don't get back on
