Wow, just read the entire thread...Sorry it took me so long to see it. Melissa, you really started something awesome...I get the feeling this is going to get national media coverage when it's D-Day...Somebody send me the URL for the secret site, I have boxes full of odds and ends and I'd like to see the needs list, I want to see if I can double the Canadian contribution... ;D

God bless you and your family Melissa

Melissa this is so cool to do this for the hubby.

I posted on the other site that I have a stock PS box. I took it off my 74 and replaced with the 3:1 ratio. The input seal leaks (since I put the Saginaw pump on) but I also have the rebuild kit for it (seals etc). If it's needed I can send it to John. I also might be able to find the stock pitman arm since I replaced with the dropped arm. Let me know.

I have a neighbor whose son is in the Marine Reserves and in training to leave for Iraq in January. Everytime I saw him before he left I thanked him for his service so I thank you for your support of your husband and thank him for his service.

Working on getting a more detailed list together of exactly what is needed for the build. This is really exciting! I can't believe all that has happened in less than a month! ;D

Hey Steve,
If I get that 9"BB from Ben, do you think we could find a way to get it to Danny? ;)


Sounds like things worked out pretty good with Ben.
I will try to contact Shawn tonight.
I am so glad this is all working out so well, has it really only been a month?

;D

Melissa, you have a PM about the parts shipping info.
Bob Webster has offered to gather the parts donated and deliver them to the build site or the site in Conway either one.......SO those that want to donate but are worried about shipping costs speak up now
I think this post will eventually pass Monky biz and even Hot WHeels , which I didn't think was remotely possible!!! :eek:
