"Doubting Thomas". I can accept that I suppose. I have been called a lot worse earlier this afternoon, such as apparently I don't vacuum often enough, but when I do, I don't do it right...
The bottom line for me is that the discussion on this fine site of what is original on Advance-Design trucks should be based on historical fact. This site has always been a great place to express our opinions for the purpose of discussion. Without historical documentation, personal opinions should be presented as just that, but not as the end of the discussion.
A lot of people use this site to get the skinny on what is original. We owe them due diligence to help them find that.
I don't know for a fact what the hinges were plated with. I have an opinion of what I believe that they were plated with, and I try to express this as just an opinion, not proven fact.
Carry on.
