This project is now spread out over 10+ years and multiple websites. It was time to consolidate everything in one spot and since Adam recently started a thread for #66 I figured it would be good to have a complimentary thread for #145.
Here she was as I found her on AutoTrader in NJ in the summer of 2007. The truck was bad enough that I actually passed on it the first time. I dropped the guy a note a few months later when I was in Moscow and we struck a deal when he came down on price. My long-suffering (and at the time, pregnant) wife picked it up in the dead of winter with snow coming and dry-rotted windshield wipers. We joke that it was #145 because that’s how many miles it ran before breaking down after we bought it.
