The truck is very close. Eric has put in a lot of work on it. Last night, we got the headers torqued in as well as the lock tabs on the bolts. Eric hung the cooling system and completed the hydraulics. We still have the hard radiator hoses to go, then cooling is done. The fuel system needs the return lines connected and the regulator mounted (need to fab a custom bracket). We also need to connect the mid pipes to the headers. The rear end needs a little help on the E-brake connection and a rear seal is leaking.

But the end is in sight.

Thanks for all the well wishes. I do look forward to tonight. Life long memories will be made at this party.

Enjoy the ride,
Dale

Let's see. I remember drinking a lot, it was getting kind of hazy, and next thing I know I woke up in a bed that was not my room.

Hope someone takes lots of pictures so I can remember these memories.

Roy, you cannot imagine what a pleasure and honor it was to me to meet you.

Hope you had a good flight back home.

That was my exact thought when we had the pleasure of meeting Roy in person. :rock: :rock: :rock: I gave him several hugs and kisses, did you Dad????

I want to thank all of you for making the night so special for me and my family.

It was good to see old friends and great to finally meet the man who introduced me to the group. Thank You.

I hugged a Silverback and survived!

Memories to last a life time!

And in the middle of it all, with all of us watching...Dale asked Ramona for her hand in marriage...I had a few tears in my eyes...as did everyone else.

It was like meeting brothers that I had know about but never had the chance to look in the eye and feel the love...

All because of a damn truck...amazing. Once again, thanks Jack and Patrick...
