Well now were getting some where.. As you may or may not know we just moved again, and in a box somewhere I've got a pic of my uncle Daves truck with two big oranges on it. I think it had wooden spoke wheels ,, I'm still looking

Joe....nope the T-Shirt and Sign and Sporting Goods business I think is far more demanding right now than wheelin a truck.....LOL....Since the economy has went south people arent going out of town to purchase stuff and since they are taking as many trips more kids are being signed up in local sports....and that means they need uniforms and equipment.....and we are the only game in town !..Not to mention our sign business is skyrocketing....it is election year and we have been doing tons of for sale and forecloser stuff.
Larry I'll let you know when the Orange has a home again.......and I'll make sure you get up here for a burger one way or another.
