While the cluster is out, maybe look at getting a new back for it (unless your's is really good). The older ones rotted out easily and crumbled. The new ones you can get or the ones out of the econolines are a better plastic and won't rot away.

Mine has only rolled from me pushing it around........., I have never even driven the truck. When I got the truck, it never ran and I just tore it down.

Yep, I've driven these trucks and like them very much. And I'm going to even like them more when I can drive mine. Heck, right now I just like sitting in it. (and working on it).

lol - it's funny you said that you just like sitting in it. Me too. I often take her out of the garage and just sit in her and watch a movie or jam out even though I have all the comforts in the world in the house!
