You are right, Chic.

Sorry, It was not David, but his brother.

Thanks Jim as I typed the name I

was thinking I had the wrong name

I believe David was married to

Tommy Clark's daughter Mardi & I'm

not sure of his brother's name

Maybe it was Harry

If you'll allow an outsider to comment here (grin)...
If you say these pictures are from 1988, then the trucks had probably been repainted a couple of times by then, but the designs were originally done (in 1982 if I am remembering correctly) by Bobby Rawls, David's brother and the second son of Harry and Mary. We were on the Beatty-Cole show with he and his wife and I actually hung out in the barn in Deland sometimes with Bobby while he was painting over the winter before the show went out.
