Eight years ago the wife and I set out on a 250 road trip to get this project. After loading onto the trailer, she told me she was driving, and she towed it back 250 miles to our home. Unfortunately she was not able to see this day as cancer took her last September.

So sorry to hear that. You DID have her support obviously. And I imagine she has seen the progress you guys made on it since you picked it up. No doubt she knew it would be finished and it looks amazing.

Sorry about your wife passing. One of the last things my mom said to me before she passed away 2 years ago was, finish your truck. I am sure she is looking down and seeing the great job you done on it. Looks great and enjoy it/
