His truck and camper were restored and put in the museum.
It appears a few details were lost during the restoration.(post #31 page 2) The red white and blue V6 emblems are now all white. The dark blue trim paint that was originally on the hubcaps is also missing(there all white too). Where they cutting corners or did they think it was not important?
