What helped me identify it for sure was the wacky ass sunroof.

This picture was kind of a blast from the past - I put that engine in there in 2010. 350 smallblock, freshly rebuilt, if I remember right.

Im useless, but good luck anon. Our hearts are with you

I dunno if I'll ever find it, but I'm hoping I can. Texas is a big ass place to search.

Bumping, I hope someone is able to help you find it OP.

put up some craigslist ads all over texas. There's not THAT many of those things still around.

>tfw OPs dad sold his truck, bought a house, lived and died in it all since mine's been dead
It never stops feeling like yesterday, OP

Bump for OP. Godspeed

Best of luck anon. I hope you are in the drivers seat soon!

I hope you get the thing back, I'm doing what I can think to do right now.
I AM LETTING LOOSE THE TENTACLES OF THE DOT TO MY FULL CAPABILITY

(No promises, our computers are cancer and there "isn't money in the budget" to update anything in this shit hole)

Yeah... It still seems like yesterday. But at times it feels like he's there with me, so it's not all bad. Ups and downs.

Thank you! Hopefully you can find something.

I found the name and address of the current owner! Now to find a way to find his phone number.

My dad was a real talker but during the last few months of his life he was on a ventilator and chose to basically not talk at all even when he would have been able to. After he died, even when I would dream about him he wouldn't talk but then after some years I started having dreams where he was his normal self and I can't tell you how good that felt. These days I can concentrate and imagine the two of us in various situations where we spoke freely and I can pretty much hear what he would say to me about things so yeah it IS better than it was.

Good luck anon.

What sucks is remembering how he was, and then how bad he got as the cancer got him. Also doesn't help that I was there for his last few days, he was hallucinating bad - and I kinda sorta held his hand as he went. Bad times have passed, hopefully.

So I have located the owner and got his address - I think I found his wife on facebook? Has a picture of their house. I'm sending her a message asking her about the truck. If that doesn't pan out, I'll be sending a letter to their address.
