i hope to bring some info to help keep our trucks alive.

Wow. OK. .Some of the people on this site,don't know about the history we have texted almost 20 years.

What's the deal. Lets get back to posting our love for this crazy idea the automakers had. I didn't make sense for a lot of vehicles, but I bought those cars because they were different.

I have done the specs and dimensions. This is what we do for our fellow club members. Pass on our knowledge.
