I guess I should have mentioned that I haven't seen it since 1994 but at that time the rubber was still pristine. That really is odd since I have several products which have rubber parts in them and they all have gone bad. This particular truck is in the N.C. mountains.
Here is another truck, also from 1994. That is the 94 rec crew and I am the driver. It was probably an early 60s model and I actually remember it when it was almost or was new. It had a 327 and 3 on the column. That gear shifter was loose as could be but still worked OK.
