I've got one of the older original tshirts and I like it fine, but I think that 
it would
be appropriate to do an update and it should be something other than white this 
time.

I like the idea of going with the Vintage Truck supplier idea that someone had 
and also
agree with Wayne that we need one fairly simple logo.  Maybe it should 
emphasize the
ole-trucks list itself instead of trying  to hit all of the trucks represented 
by the
list but it should at least somehow mention both chevy and gmc.  I like retro 
but
whatever.
