I do care what you have to say about squares 99% of the time, but the truth is these truck in this condition are getting rare.

I'm trying to be gracious. I agree they are getting harder and harder to find as time goes by.

The truth is we used to build these things until we were sick of them (about 15 million squares total); all different shapes and sizes. I used to see trucks going by when I would close my eyes at night.

Any truck is 1 of 1 when you break it down far enough. The Marti report makes it's money that way - I saw a Mustang of some sort that was broken down until it was the only "blue one" with the optional block heater. Its to the point of ridiculousness.

I suspect there was a 4x4 TBI M20 trans or two (thousand) in that mix. That's not really my thing, which is why I ordered mine as a 2wd with the MY6 trans. That IS my thing.

BTW - 900,000 trucks is about right. That's one per minute, 8 to 10 hours a day, over a six year period.
