| Notes: |
Purchased it as is, in Bakersfield , Feb. 2009. Named it Trigger, because, after looking at classics for 20+ years, my wife let me pull the *Trigger* on it, thus the name. Truck was originally purchased in Madera, Ca. I spoke tothe original owners son recently. He remembered his dad buying the car. I have the original owners warranty card, and owners manual. The next two owners did all the resto work on it. I've added various decorative items, such as door handles, LED license plate bulb bolts, etc... |

The local paper chooses a different classic to feature in the Friday paper. That week somebody nominated me, so they did a story on it.
