a day away from the Trotter's Rod Club history being thrown in a dumpster and that fantastic 5th wheel truck scrapped and lost forever.... only 4 members survive, and one's in the hospital. But Sef got there to prevent the loss of this awesome club's legacy




 I bet you remember them now.... and that truck! 

And that was ALL I knew of them... just the truck, the 5th wheel trailer, and the slingshot dragster. I hadn't ever seen anything else about them, and I mean ever. 

I think I first saw their hot rod and dragster in 2010 https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/12/innovative-hot-rodder-made-fifth-wheel.html and didn't see much else since. 



that's awfully close to gone for ever

Sef jumped in to help and save, and dang it, standing ovation time! Seriously, it's awesome, and rare, for anyone to save a club's legacy, and history, and share it with the rest of us gear heads! 




saving it all!



that makes my day, and I'm looking forward to learning everything that Sef can share in the future about this club. I'm even telling Steve to make a book about them, I shit you not
