Trucks sold in Southern Oregon were ordered from Seattle (74), sold in Hawaii, from Los Angeles (71).

N81: N = Red Check Stripe Woven Plastic = 1964 / 1966 = Cody Pattern.

I use the '64/72 truck parts catalog to decode this jazz. I do not use FTE decoders or the Red Book...because both have multiple errors and omissions.

Nice weather, would love that right now, it's 25 degrees outside here. Have a great day, and don't let people get to you.
