And to make matters more confusing... following no patter whatsoever I once
saw a truck for sale (considered buying it) which wore a fender badge that
said 1210D and was a 4x4 dually, and that sheet metal was all original (and
in wonderful shape too... if I'd been able to buy it I would have, basically
a rust free truck).
