This from Danny Nelms:

From Dennis Metzger

If you shoot rigs long enough you’ll find them in their new homes and amaze the new department when you show them pictures from when it was in service in it’s original department.
Edcouch (Hidalgo County), TX  – Tanker 2, 1984 ALF Century/Welch 500/2000
Serial# CE-7955/Welch #000815. X-South Elgin, IL. This current paint scheme is a wrap and not a paint job.
