Wow- this is great- Thanks Bill-
so my truck was assembled in LA and was the 409th truck off the assembly line, according to what you're telling me? Amazing!
One last very novice question- would the emblem for the V8 have fit on the hood of the 6cyl? I'm trying to figure out if the whole hood was replaced or just the emblem. I'm also trying to figure out if I can replace the V8 emblem with the 6cyl emblem (should I ever locate one) as I'm trying to keep the truck as original as possible.
Again- thanks so much for all your help!
