Big Orange is gone from the herd.

We've been kicking the idea around to thin the here some. Well #2 left yesterday, the one that started this whole crazy truck club addiction my 72 orange C/10. (know as Big Orange)



Between my bad left leg, and 355lb body made driving the old girl almost impossible so I let her go. I have 3 more ready to let go then we will start on parts. No I'm not quitting, just going to build something that I can get in and out of.

You already had the name here when I showed up in 2005. I've known that truck most of my life and that was just what it was referred to as.

sucks to let them go but that just marks the begining of another project for me.
