In 1988 when i bought the truck it was to tow a boat of 9600lbs dry weight + trailer. I found this old chevy with a Bb-400 and knew it was the rig that could pull it. I followed an ad and found this Yellow thing. I hoped that when I called the owner did'nt tell me it was that gruesome yellow.
Its all history now. I bought that ugly thing and kept it. It served me very well and was always up for the challenge. It's beauty was within, and I knew it was my girl. When it came time to dress her up I thought that Blue/white, orang/wht, or red/wht would be the way to go. In the end she served me so well for so many years I could'nt digrace her by telling her she needs to look any different. Yellow is starting to grow on me, and I can only offer a simple apology to my truck for being so shallow. OMG, it must be bedtime. I hope my wife dont ever see this. I'd have to change my name to Crazyoldman.

Good night

Some people are like Slinkies... not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.
