After a few year's worth of negotiating and hand-wringing, Baby will get a make-over and start hitting the streets! I can't wait to get going on it! (Optional redneck moonroof is just a previous handler's interim storage solution.)

The reason I'm asking is that I'm about done with a bunch of my old books, and I'll be in the market for others.
Of course I know it's a ridiculous concept. Everyone's too busy watching the Simpsons or Paris Hilton or whatever to read.

Please consider adding it to the Gallery area. I'd like to see more pictures of it!

The J255 chassis-cab unit is the 1545th one to leave the factory. Now I need to find out how many were produced in total. Anybody out there know? TG | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | that 1545 is out of the number of trucks overall, at that plant - don't think you'll find more than how many light trucks were made system-wide
and note that the moderator adjusted your first post to make the picture into a link - it's what's prefered here, rather than posting the pic inline
