I never want to rain on anyone's parade but you guys might be up s*&t's
creek. The factory will have to start gettin' ready to ramp up for the '98
build real soon. They have to have trucks at the dealers for early fall.

One good note......940,000 units would be an excellent sales number for the
whole year. I really doubt they've got orders still pending for this many
trucks. Keep hounding your salepeople!!
