Nice to have a truck for 75 bucks. Real steal indeed, you can now rig it up with a $750 all-mode Amateur transceiver.

Maybe we in India can start importing these 75 buck gas guzzlers and power them with Debian GNU/Linux!

I’m not sure that all of we wanted this kind of truck!

I didn’t know you had it in you. I haven’t laughed so hard in a long time. Well done!

I know the mileage is well over 100,000 but don’t know exactly. The speedometer/odomoter doesn’t work anymore, and I don’t know how long it’s been broken.

It’s the wiring harness for trailer lights.

Looks like this truck has been a good companion to someone; I’m curious what the mileage on it is.

But NOTHING rivals the sleek styling of an Ambassador. Did they make trucks too?

Should be easy to hold your money together on this one, and the depreciation shouldn’t eat you alive like it might on a slightly newer truck.
