Another chevy soldier falls. When taking the glovebox door and protecto plate I felt it was akin to taking the dog tags. My buddy got the tailgate and a door after I left. It's amazing that there will just be a skelton left tomoroow.

They werent even careful when they moved it with the fork truck. There were suspension components broken underneath. Still has the leaf spring posi.

I guess we can take solace in the fact we have at least one already. Loosing this one only makes ours that much more valuable.

There will be no trace of this truck in a week. Wonder how many times a month this happens?

Off topic but does anyone know a way to fix the hole in the grill like that one? Sad to see this happen.
