I know he eventually passed the truck on to someone else here. It had some issues with one of the head castings IIRC.
From a business standpoint, he got fed up with people who'd call him, use his expertise and hours of his time on the phone, and then not buy from him because they could save a few bucks on eBay or whatever.
He was such a huge help to me when I had the BB truck. Everything I did to it, except the transmission, I got through him.
