For sure. I just need the courage to go back after that shit show.
I do plan on going back and the flowers are a great idea @Bent77 thank you!
What’s the worst she can say,go for it.
I didn't find the embarrassing part.
To me it read like a man getting it done, saying yes to life is all that matters.
Should've asked for those digits lol.

I'm sure I will get back some confidence in time. This past year has been a huge blast physically and mentally. I'm super thankful just to be here at this point and will be making the best of it.
Go pull the number. You got the most awkward part of letting somebody know about your leg in very innocent way. Dare I say it’s almost one of those cute how I met somebody stories.
Worth a shot at least.

You already know she's a decent person...if it doesn't work out you have a racket for meeting others!

The main issue would probably be age. I'm freshly divorced (1 year now) from a younger woman and have learned a lesson about that lol. She could be great but I know I do not want to have that much age difference again. (even just on a date)You already know she's a decent person...if it doesn't work out you have a racket for meeting others!
As for the racket I do think you're on to something there hahaha

I was trying to work a deal with @Capt Ron for his 91 camper but I couldn't swing the work that would need to be done (my health limits me right now).
*someone needs to buy that rig from him its a smoking deal!!*
After the reality of not being able to handle resto work on my rigs right now
I came across this k30 locally. It was a great deal and it doesn't have much more than surface rust.
It has all the goodies and then some. Dana 60, 14 bolt, 350, auto and assuming a 208.
Cons: tbi was replaced when engine swapped. Only running one fuel tank for now. Needs carpet and seat recovered. Hubcaps missing.
I know they're tough to come by, but if any brothers have a set of 1 ton hubcaps I'm a buyer. Driver level with scratch n dent is fine or excellent condition is good.
More pics after unloading and I get it plated.

Does anyone offer positive rate front springs without the 2" lift? Otherwise I'm going for ORD springs. Maybe they do? Just looking for members with stock height / 2 or under springs
Looks like a good choice.

I've been wanting a K5 camper for a while now and @Capt Ron Ron @zoohave come through a few times.Looks like a good choice.
The K30 will be a good shop truck. Going to make it presentable and logo it up along with basic tune up stuff. Try to keep the itch away to lift and lockers so I don't bang it up lol
I do have some 37s floating around though....

Plan to get info off the axles before I unload it later. Being on the trailer is the only way I can inspect underneath. Getting off the ground is still a ways out strength wise. If I don't have something to grab or help I'm a beached whale.

I have a question for members with K30/V3500 trucks. Looking to replace the gas tanks, sending units and selector switch. LMC is not giving me an option for an 87 K30? Are the 87 K20 parts different?
I think the change around 84 or 85.
87 for sure is the same as 89, try 89

Thank you sir. The 87 seems to be a bit of in between with the K30. My title says V30 which I'm sure is a mistake. The vin has the V designation but I would think an 87 is K30.
V=Victory!

I had plans for axle inspection but an inch of ice kept me from wanting to slide around on the trailer. Next time.
