Thanks Dave! I should know the answer but is there somewhere on the tags a code for its factory color? Or was this still too early for that?


PS: I went back and looked at the VIN and it looks like its the 20,063rd truck built. That's a LOT of damn trucks built. No wonder they are still all over the place. Also, I assume that's its number from the LA plant, right? They didn't keep running track of them coming out of each factory - no computers to tie the factories together in those days!
