Yesterday I spent most of the day cleaning 30 years of dust, seeds, mouse droppings, and manure off of the truck with the hose and a scrub brush, then removed the carpeting and seats and vacuumed the interior with the wet/dry vac.  When I removed the carpeting I was pleased to see the original rubber floor mats still in almost perfect condition inside the vehicle.

On a whim, I grabbed a flashlight and checked on top of the glove compartment.  Sure enough, there it was - the line setting ticket for the truck, which explains exactly which options were installed on the vehicle and what dealership it went to originally (Eckland & Haarsted in Ellsworth, WI, which is just outside of Minneapolis).  This is a rare and lucky find, and also further validates the low use and miles of the truck.

I took a bunch of photos of the truck before rolling it into the garage for the gallery, and you can also view a PDF of the line setting ticket by clicking on the link below:
