Draker Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 That shift knob is probably worth $40 depending on how it polishes up. Nice score. 2 Quote Link to comment

Thanks big man ! but I cant take credit for saving this sweet truck , I will play a part of getting it back on the road . My friend is the savior of these 2 very clean trucks. This truck is a perfect example of how trucks that could of been parted out and left for dead will see life again. 2 Quote Link to comment
