    That had to be difficult, Dane. Blue Jay was in your life for a long time
    but if you didn't have it, it'd still be rotting away in the weeds.
    Keep up the great stuff and saving those old pieces of Transportation history!

      It definitely was/is but it was time. Next project is enroute. Priority is the 66 “Grasshopper” finish this winter too. Btw WOT just arrived, can’t wait to read your feature 😬👍

    Dean, I remember when you got blue Jay out of there and like I said it's time like I said, you got the kW.
    God bless you with that truck and keep on rolling with another one

      Yes sir, I love them but I also love hearing the excitement in the new owners as they move along to their next destination.

    Glad you showed that Moving On Kenworth. I grew up watching that show and I have all the shows on DVD. My most favorite TV show truck. I also like your Cabover K100s.

      The kw s were different trucks on the moving on show I mean different diesel power cummins and Detroit if you pay attention you will notice it just like I watched the shoe as well. Now what engine powered the kw on bj and the bear 🐻 I think it was a dd 😊

    Hey Dane,
    Just look at it like this without you Blue Jay is still in the briar's dying a slow death now he lives on. Allowing you to perhaps reach out and predicate the survival of one more semi truck from imminent decay and death. So love what your doing and doing right. Rock on Big D!!!!

    O-H-I-O Porter greetings 🇺🇸 Hey there, buddy! What a trip that GMC has had! You saved it, repaired it & then let someone else take it to the next level perhaps. You gave it life again & that’s a big thing! Thanks for sharing the transfer of it. Hope you get to see it again. All the way out to Colorado?! WOW! I didn’t think Wayne would sell that GMC! Bittersweet! Sweet old truck! It seems that there’s always another truck, another project, another car waiting to be grabbed up. You can only handle so many projects at one time, huh! Glad that Grasshopper is coming along. You’ve made lots of progress on it since we were there! Blessings my friend! 🥰🤩✌️

    Blue Jay wasn’t your first truck by any means, but it’s my own humble opinion that that Astro is what you’ve built your UA-cam channel following on. A bit of melancholy, for sure….but you saved that truck from rotting any further than it had and likely getting crushed which would’ve been a shame. You had fun, it’s in far better shape….and the next guy gets a great hobby truck to enjoy and improve.
    As I said in the comments on your Facebook page, now there’s *potentially* room to get “Sarge” in the shop along with both KW cabovers for the winter…..not to mention freedom-up funds to get “Grasshopper” on the road!
    Of course, there’s always the possibility you have something else to take Blue Jay’s spot….

    The people who love these cabovers never had to make a living driving and sleeping in them I did it in 1999.2000.2001.otr. coast to coast border to border. Climb over dogbox laying down to get dressed not to mention the constant pounding on your body takes cause of short wheel base😂😢😅
