Hello Again :)
I want to thank MTHelmet, TheBigR and Estands4Evil (cute name) for trying to help me find this truck. I really appreciate it : )
Before I decided to try this message board, I first combed the entire internet, searched google, alltheweb and Yahoo! and after reading through thousands of articles and getting buggy-eyed, but not finding THE truck, I started jotting off emails to any Model Truck collector I came across, for the past week, and it finally paid off! A collector I emailed called all his collector buddies that are not online and found a guy in North Carolina that has one that he's going to sell to me. YAY!
I kinda figured asking here would be a longshot, only because I know that if anyone has the truck, it's because they CHOSE it as their employee Christmas gift, and I figured they wouldn't be willing to part with it, but I had to try. : )
My Dad is a OTR Driver for Estes for going on eight years now and he started collecting the model trucks that first year. This past year, while he was at the Missouri terminal, he submitted his Christmas request through them (that's NOT his home terminal) and they never sent it in. He was soo upset. I was able to get him all the trucks from before he started there, but this one was the most difficult!
Anyway, Sorry for the novel, I just wanted to say thanks for being so nice :)
Merry Christmas : )
