My dad worked on the truck line at the GM in Fremont CA plant back then and I worked at the Toyota / GM plant that it became in the 90's. My dad always said to check behind the door panels for bottles and cans or other possibly illegal things. Those were crazy days ! At that plant they would have hookers in vans in the parking lot !

CB, extra five gallon gas can, Receiver hitch, a machete and a cast iron skillet. best four-wheel drive I have ever owned. Michelin all-terrain radials on it. The truck was set up by an old man.
