I wished I still had it. Bought it from the Civil Air Patrol in 1981 it was an #10. Sold it to my cousin & he still has it. It was a bad-ass rig with water proof ignition, I used to swim it across rivers never knowing where it would land.
WE had one growing up as a kid too. Had a pto winch also. We ended up with two spares because the electrical and associated parts (sealed wiring etc) were so expensive. Great rig, even with the stock super torque 4cylinder it would climb places the guys that had converted to v6 or 8 could not go because they would break traction.
