I think the Reg. No. for that one is 9096. I had it written down and came across it the other day. Does that match, or am I looking at the information for another truck?

This relic resides at our farm. I drug it home from another farm about three years ago. Sad, I know, but it looked this way when I got it. I'm just trying to save the engine and transmission at this point.

I don't remember a whole lot about this one. It had been for sale online in the SPAAMFAA Classifieds in late-2003 and ended up in Carmel, Indiana, for a short time. That's where I saw it.
