^^^ what I’d give to travel back in time and see some of these places in full operation...amazing!!

Was both a pleasure to meet you Matt (stinkwheel) and you too Ben (Meshking). In comparison to Brammy’s XM this was certainly a lot easier going on my winch! Lol. Glad too it has gone to a good home - seeing the reactions on the kids faces (and the neighbours ha!) when I pulled up was great!
 
Here are a few pre-wash (I like to call barn-find raw) photos....

You planning on tracking it or something? ???
Love the colour and the fact you've gone to town with the cleaning. I also do this and it seems we are a dying breed on this forum!

You could try @Wingz123@worldofceri on here.

Well, she hit 200k yesterday.....oil changes every 5k and will do 100 mph with a Passat on the back but I just cruise at 60.....then she's real happy....needs a new thermostat because she runs a bit cool. 
Heres to another 200k if I don't upgrade to a newer model before!.....but when you've done so many miles in a vehicle and spent so much time with it you get to know it and it becomes your ol faithful!.....that is the relationship I have with this truck....
