Heart attack, oouuffff. Thats not good, hope you get back on track soon, and feel better. Friend of mine had one early this summer, he is just starting to get back to normal. He is three years younger than me. Got him to quite smoking though. I gave him some extra incentive too. I told him go ahead keep smoking, kill yourself, I will take care of your wife when your gone!!  ;D

Sat. I fabricated top brackets for the oversize radiator, and the fan shroud on the 86. Yesterday I installed the caliper brackets, rotors, and calipers on my 55.

Hope you're feeling better bobcooter.

Should be getting the truck back from the trans shop with a new valve body today.

Thanks to everyone for the well wishes. I should have known better. I'm 49 and I ate everything I wanted whenever I wanted and smoked two packs of Marlboros a day along with about a gallon of coffee. Just like I did when I was 20. I guess it was just a matter of time. A real wake up call for sure. Getting lean and mean now and quitting the smokes. I was actually in pretty good shape believe it or not, but I think it was the Marlboros that got me.
 If you don't smoke; don't start. If you do smoke you need to try to quit.

If I had a nickel for every time I quit smoking....well maybe it'll happen for 2011.

My water pump blew chunks and died yesterday so I'm off to the garage to fire up the nipco heater and see how big of a mess I can make.

I started cutting out the passanger floor board and rockers, got the cab corner off and started grinding on the inner cab corner. Getting ready to place an order with Chris on some parts.

Blazin, I hope your ready for a crap load of questions..LOL

I worked yesterday so I didn't get much done. Today I rewired a Bro-in-laws utility trailer because the dog hate the harness up. After that I spent some time organizing all the parts I bought last week. Later I pulled the seat in my 77 so I could remove the Ride Tech E3 ECU. It is going back to Ride Tech for updates.

Finished up adding my Auxiliary trans cooler and engine oil cooler.  Also finished plumbing the dual tanks.  Putting off the wiring project as long as possible to make the TPI work :)

Woke up to a winter wonderland outside, so I put the scoop shovel in the back, and locked the hubs in.

I stripped all the undercoat off the bottom of my bed and painted on the POR 15 and let it set up.  Hopefully undercoat goes on tomorrow.
