Basically they date their magazine 1-1.5 months off? ;)

That's a dually, right?  Dana 70 front if it's a 1 ton... wonder what rear
end it has.

That truck is just a few miles from Mike Bolton (see below), who is friends
with the guy who owns that truck.

Mike Bolton owns that one (1980 though <vbg>), he tried to get ahold of it
for a long time before they let him have it.  I've talked to him online
some, he seems to be a really nice, standup, guy.  He has a really nice '80
rallye that he had before and he also just acquired another diesel scout
fairly recently that could use some work.  I think he may be a lurker on
here too.

In good shape I take it?

Need to get a certain 1310 travelette actually moved so I can start working
on it...
