Go out and buy a lottery ticket while you're at it. You have stumbled upon a deal of the century.

 

wow, you know there aren't 10 year old trucks in Lansing in that good a shape.

 

This one sold today at auction in central IL. for $1700. I was listening to the auction on-line. The auctioneer said it was last run in 2003.



Just something to compare to.

 

Lovin' the patch panels.
