All I can say, Jim - is, "You haven't SEEN Toms' truck!" (Hi Tom )
Actually, isn't 20 yars fairly 'mature' for a vehicle ?  I seem to remember 
there being a "rule of thumb" a few years back that anything over 30 was 
considered antique (and 50 and over - ancient ;), or was that "ROT" for 
furniture... 
My 45 year old is still sitting in the driveway.  I had REALLY hoped to have 
it back on the road THIS summer, but "the best laid plans of mice and men"... 
("now you know the rest of the story").  SOMEday (soon - I hope), we'll be 
taking the engine up to a friends garage (one with concrete floors, and a 
roof ;) where he builds his race cars, and check it out.  Then perhaps when 
the rainy weather gets here (no racing) we'll flatbed the rest of it up there 
and put everything together .  Well, maybe OTR next summer...
All the Best to you and yours,
