Origin Story

 It must have been fate. Cody got his first K10 one month before meeting Paige. This was a fortunate move as he had previously been driving a PT Cruiser and that would have been an automatic deal breaker. Many of their adventures early in their relationship centered around "Old Yeller" whether it was hiking, camping at the Oregon Coast, or pulling college kids on a couch behind them in the snow. This truck always represented freedom and times of Nostalgia to Paige and Cody.

With the truck being a bright yellow, which was the rival color of their alma mater, Paige appropriately got a large sticker that read “I am Orange” for the back windshield to let all know where their allegiances truly lied.  Cody being a tinker at heart always had big aspirations to fix up his K10 into the K20 truck of his dreams. Many steps in that frame up evolution took place in Paige and Cody’s  drafty, dingy, single car garage of their 848 square foot house, including turning “Old Yeller” into a gun metal gray. 

During the GMC’s restoration, another big event took place, their wedding. Of course the occasion called for the separate restoration of a C30 to become the mobile bar for their wedding that Paige drove down to the altar. This became the couples first attempt at upholstery which ironically put more strain on their relationship than anything up to that point, but they did finally get the cover on. 

Life brought Paige and Cody back home to Eastern Oregon where they found out they were pregnant with their first son. They were elated to be growing their family. Unfortunately that elation was temporarily dampened when Paige almost lost her life during the birth of their son. Fortunately everyone was able to fully recover. This put some things into perspective for their small family.  Over the following years, Cody focused on completing his upgrades on his K20. Updates included adding a custom bump cab set, heated buddy bucket seats, a modern dashboard, and custom made bumpers.

Our family is working to let your family enjoy the same sense of freedom and nostalgia that comes from an old truck on the open road or the 4x4 trail.
