hey, i just posted it because it was a nice clean truck in my fav color.. :<)
 nothing to gain or lose for me.  :<)     anyone who has been on this list
longer than a day, in light of all the recent discussions on this subject, will
know that these were never officially sold in the USA, and it was originally a
canadian model.   it was late, it looked nice, and so i posted it up for
everyones perusal ..i figured you or someone else would pick thru all the
inconsistencies (sp?) in the ad so i didnt do it myself :<)
  i just post it up and let y'all go at it like a pack of hungry wolves on a
side of beef..

and i was right :<)     be sure to pick that red meat out of your teeth when
your done :<)

still its a clean looking truck and much better looking than mine.. red,
red..   sexy color :<)
