Yup... and it has the stock "Sport" rims on it. (The chrome plated steel
ones).

The caliper bolt/pin that was loose was partially stripped too. I find
all sorts of interesting stuff on this truck every time I work on it.
Both doors are off an '88 Dakota, and metallic blue... on a red truck.
But you only see it if you take the door panels off. And the mirrors
are the "elephant ear" electrics... but the plugs don't go anywhere.

I like it though, it has almost all the options I would want. Never
mind the slow leak in the A/C, the steering box that goes ping, and that
there are *12* zerk fittings that I have to grease every oil change just
in the front end...
