Old red is leaving
Well after 6 long years of working on old red, its time for him to go. I've rebuilt the engine, replaced the radiator, clutch, floor pans, tires, windshield,repainted the exterior, repaired the dash with a magnetic bowl in the speaker, and redid the interior.

I think you have to have two trucks - one to work on and one to use. See my sig.

I live in Utah. Gave more than I cared to give. Lol. Right now it's a paperweight, but I'm positive when everything is said and done, it will be worth it. The PO should have been shot.

Wifey thinks I should get rid of Old red. I'm begging to differ. Lol

My wife told me the same thing about Rusty. Until we had invested so much in Dad's that she realized there's no way it is going to be hauling rock for the flower gardens, mulch, etc. then she said Rusty could stay.

That should be in the plural and not posessive tense, e.g. caps.
