I posted this at the Oldeconolines site but he was a member here also;
Im truly saddened to report the death of site member Ron Blachut. Eric Duffel
had emailed him and got a response from his wife saying he died Labor day
weekend. Most of us knew Ron had the best darn blog on the net chronicaling his
65 Econoline pickup's restoration and a very extensive list of vendors and
resources he had used;

I dont believe the truck ever got finished but I know he spent a smalll
fortune on it year to date. I ll let you know if I get any further news. I had
spoken with Ron several times over the years and supplied parts for his truck as
have other site members. Fred Carello did his seats. Theres a lot of this site
that went into that truck and we can hold our heads high for that in his honor.
He and his blog will truly be missed.
