Is that where the work went? Detroit?
It wouldn't surprise me at all. That's where the Ford F-150 plant down the road from me went, to the new-ish plant in Dearborn. I recall reading an article a few years ago, wherein Bill Ford was quoted as saying that there is a movement afoot among the automakers to "return to the Detriot area.".

Same thing happened to the Delco battery plant near my town. It's amazing how quickly a nice neighborhood can go the dogs (or illegals in this case).

Update: They finally gave up trying to sell the office part of the building (what's in the pic below) and tore it down. It is completely gone.

I was thinking of you bud.
And in a straight way, so don't get any ideas
I was just told recently those first gen Chargers have fold down seats and can fit a 4 x 8 sheet of plywood with the hatch shut.
Hmmm, should I sell the truck?
