Used to hit the town in my younger days in an old Studebaker painted in undercoat grey, she was a beaut, got T-Boned one day and I'm glad I was in her as we would have been stuffed in just about anything else, tough as nails. Congrats on the new Rig..

Jeez Al, I'd hate to see what Toyota would charge for a reconditioned one and fitting labour...........probably $250. Should go aftermarket ;)

Jeezuss Al, that looks high tech. I wonder if it has a part number if you were to buy one for a spare while travelling.

Kind regards
