Thanks Dave just happy to make the occasional addition to the collection.
Ray, it's on page 288 , 12th edition, and yes it is small, but mighty!
Repro, are you kidding me, I have'nt bought a repro since the last time :)
Cool truck, what year was it made?
Nice Bernie! You snuck this by us all!
Thanks Perry, just a little thang, but kinda cool anyway!
