Tim,
Your work and your compilation of pictures, description, humor and technical learning and sharing are inspiring, and a little humbling as well. There are many who have not had your persistence, your patience, and your determination to see this kind of restoration all the way through. I believe that those who look closely will see that there are ways, if you just choose to tread on, continue, seek, stumble and get up, to succeed as you have. You deserve all the honors you have received. It is one beautiful truck. Congratulations!
Dale
