PS, Thank You of course.
Another short, but in my view, necessary update, report, call it what you may.
This Internet has put so many of us in touch with each other, furthered hobbies, friendships etc.
When I bought my Chevy C10 one of the forums I started to frequent was a dedicated truck forum, for all Chevy trucks.
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/index.php
On here I along with other people around the world, but specifically in the UK got to meet Dale who was a creative, and driven petrol head and builder. Always supportive, full of advice and gentle, generous and kind in his friendship.
His last amazing build:

Dale was a Quadroplegic since 1984 after a Motor Vehicle Accident but none of that ever stopped him pursuing any of his hobbies.
As his girls said, he was the tallest man they ever knew, despite never seeing him walk.
Sadly, he died on the 10th of November and those that knew him, lost a great friend and mentor.
Today a parcel was delivered, he and his daughter were collecting very personalised pieces for myself, Ian Brown and Mate Martin who all have C10 trucks in restoration process, included were Ontario plates for 1964, '65 and '66
Thenparcel had been sent to Ian, who then redirected the contents here in the UK.
After his death, his wife and daughter fulfilled one of his wishes, to send out to us the pieces they collected, along with hand written notes from both ladies.
This is incredibly touching and humbling.
It again restores faith in mankind.
I have a new fridge magnet that will hold a significant place in my kitchen and home.
I feel honoured, along with Ian and Martin, to have known Dale.
RIP Friend.
In other news, Mate Darren has completed my Christmas tree by powder coating it red for me.
I love it.
And lastly, an opportunity to break out the eye bleach..... or not.
Mate Don in Arkansas sent me this photo yesterday.
It is so weird, and right now, Imam still,undecided. But it could work, a bit like a Transylvanian princess.
Later guys.
