The miles have gone on more slowly in recent years. I have not lived in a community served by traffic reports in more than 20 years.

Was commuting 300 miles a week during the last four years I lived in California.

Purchased new in Orange, California in January of 1985, during my time at USMCAS El Toro.

Truck was manufactured in St.Louis, Missouri.
