My dad passed away from cancer on July 20, 2012. He was the true form of any car guy and one of my best friends. When dad passed he left us some projects, this one had been his dream truck since '91. I wasn't old enough to remember the truck prior to the top chop, but the burb has sat in the same spot in the shop for at least 15yrs. Dad always helped my brothers and I work on our stuff before his and we left him little time for his truck.

Now, my brothers and I have learned the importance of making time for the things that matter. We've started scheduling weekends to work on cleaning the shop and building the 48 for our mom. This week we finished sorting/cleaning the shop and dropped the motor/tranny in for mock up. We've schedule another weekend and invited the car club (dad's friends) out to help...Here's dad with my kids (his first and only grandkids).
