Whatever happened to. . .
Brandon--aka 79Big10? Saw an earlier post about converting to dual tanks and it made me think of him. I notice his last activity date was over 6 months ago. . .

Re: Whatever happened to. . .
He found himself a woman, moved to Wichita Falls, Tx and must have found better things to do than hang around on here.
I dont know, I was wondering about him as well. Hope he is ok. I may try to email him this weekend... I will let everyone know if I hear back from him.

Re: Whatever happened to. . .
Swrvin posted a while back that he was done and parting out his truck. He posted a few of the parts and I haven't heard from him since. Look for his last post, since it a lot more detail.
Biggz just dropped out after the last truck he bought. Sold the 2wd and bought the sweet 4wd then fizzled out. I miss both of them... ![]()

Re: Whatever happened to. . .
he was active yesterday, apparently his ears were ringing yesterday cuz you guys were talking about him. i remember him from the other site as well, and we had a couple of parts transactions. sad to hear he's parting it out, and yet good to hear that while he has lost interest he wants others to enjoy his truck one piece at a time, just like i did.

Re: Whatever happened to. . .
Brandon is doing alright. I got an email back from him the other day. He is now a service writer for a F*rd dealership... He got married last month and they are living in a house on 200 acres. He also purchased a 85 Silverado with 68k orginal miles for his wife. I assume he still has tootsie roll...He doesnt have internet access at home so can only briefly check email at work. He sounds like he is doing well and I told him he was missed.

Re: Whatever happened to. . .
Yes I know I am reviving an old thread.....
I am sad to report that Brandon (79Big10) passed away over the weekend peacefully in his sleep. I realize only the old school members will remember him, but at one time many of us were like family so I felt I needed to share it here as well. Hope you and the big guy are tearing it up in ol' Tootsie Roll. Truck on Brother!
