So sorry to hear that Jeff. I've had the same talk with my old man once apon a time,it wasn't an easy thing to hear. Do the Cuda and ditch the truck brother. You'll have no regrets.....I promise.

I'll keep your family in my prayers brother!

Sorry to hear Jeff, hope they caught it early enough to knock it out.

Sorry to hear the news Jeff. I hope for the best for you and yours.

I think the project idea is awesome. I couldn't maintain my current lifestyle without a truck, but if trucks is were just a hobby, it would be an easy choice for me.

Thanks Caleb. My truck is mainly a daily driver. I dont NEED a truck 75% of the time. My dad has a dakota and a 04 3500 if id need a truck. Besides my time in college Ive never been without a D/W rig for more than a couple months. It would definitely take some getting used to.

Thank you much Ellis. The cuda is something Ive always wanted to do. And with him helping, or rather me helping him lol.

Sorry to hear Jeff, hope they caught it early enough to knock it out.

Thank you Andy. Im hoping for the best. As I told you earlier, hes taking it better than I am. I think a good mental attitude is a major asset when dealing with camcer or any other serious illness. We will find out more later this week.

Thanks again for your thoughts and prayers guys. Theyre much appreciated.

I vote for the Cuda. You can always buy another pickup but time with your dad won't come again.

[RCCUMMINS89]

I'm with fatty..... Cuda can't be replaced, and you'll have better memories in the future. Your Dad may say don't do it... but it's not just for him, it's something that will live with you for the rest of your life.

Sorry to hear Jeff. Right before my dad got sick in 97, we had been looking for a 1965 ford galaxie to to mess with. It was his first car he had before he wrapped it around a tree. I never could get him to commit. After he passed in 2001 I have thought a lot about it. Almost bought one last year but it was pretty rough. I wanna put one together for him and so I always have that. I would have no regrets in getting rid of anything for that car. So I say do what makes you happy and what will give you the best memories.

[Farmboy]

I seem to be agreeing with everyone else..

Sorry to hear that Jeff.. You and your family will be in my prayers.

[1STGENFARMBOY]

Cancer sucks azz. Sorry to hear Jeff.

[PToombs]

Sorry to hear about your dad Jeff, hope they got in time. Do what you have to so you can spend time with him, when he's gone you'll regret it if you don't.

[DodgeFreak]

Sorry to hear that also.... cancer took my grandpa and my uncle. Like everyone else said...build the car.

[Remps]

Life is too short, couldn't agree more on the 'Cuda.

[RumbleFish]

Thanks everybody. I really appreciate the kind words. Im gonna run this idea past him tomorrow and see what he has to say.

And yet another reason I love this forum. I dont frequent anywhere else. Thanks guys

I was told to buy a lottery ticket.

The warehouse that got hit? We installed a huge wall. Well, big target plus 15k of forklift and product means damage. So we installed guard rail. I had to run and get another 5/8" masonry bit for our rotary hammer. I busted one of the carbide teeth off and ground the flutes a bit. No big deal. Finish up and go on to the next one.

About 45 minutes before quitting time, a forklift driver asks if we could look at the dock plates, none were dropping or raising. Check the 480v 30a 3ph breaker, tripped. Reset. It works for 15 minutes. Now I get called about a dock light that needed a bulb. For some reason I check the other one, no light. So I check the 120v 20a breaker. Tripped. Reset and it blows almost immediately. Since this isn't my normal building, I grab my coworker. About this time, the 480v breaker trips again. After monkeying around with it, we get the electrician there who was working another building.

Evidently, the guard rail I put up... went right over the ONLY UNDERGROUND conduit in the whole damn place. I hit it and was the reason for 3 separate breakers tripping. No wonder the carbide tip looked black, it wasnt dirt I hit.
