Even though I followed this truck down the assembly line I didn't remember this but - in a kind of a cool coincidence - apparently my truck was "number 87".

I bet you remember a few times of people putting on # 97's part on # 98, and #98's on # 99 and then....ooooohh no, get the repairman!!! LOL

Lookin great, keep up the good work.
