Well crap..... Y'all warned me it could happen

FIrst of all let me thank all those that make this forum a treasure of information.

I posted last April here when I brought my first squarebody home after a long hiatus away from them.

Well, this followed me home yesterday:

I'm on vacation right now and can't see mine. I'm in a real bad state of withdrawal. It's a real thing.

I agree. I tell mine "it's cheaper than redheads". She just rolls her eyes and walks away.

Nice truck. It's in great shape and I like the color. And yep, once you get started, you'll be drawn to any nice ones you see. And maybe not nice ones. I have to be careful not to buy too many 'rescue' trucks.

Re: Well crap..... Y'all warned me it could happen

I have not seen but very few myself that color. I like it. It is weird how that happens. You just need an understanding wife. Looks like a nice truck. Have fun.

It is. Paint looks better in the pics than it actually is.

Used to be real common, at least around here.
My dad had a 79 C10 Diesel that was two toned, had tan down the middle.
Friend had a early 80's K20 that was tan on the bottom.
Rancher/Neighber had a solid one as I recall, way back in the day.
