Sorry to hear about your loss but cool ride.

 

Very sorry for your loss, very nice truck.......cant wait to see it done

 

Sounds like you and your dad were close. If you follow through with this being a tribute to him you'll be amazed how many times you'll be thinking of him during the build. My condolences for our loss and may your dad rest in peace.
