Think of how many times that key has been twisted to start the truck. Absolutely the most worn original key I have ever seen and it still works!
( The ignition switch is so worn an old nail would probably work
While the old truck is a gem in itself something about this key just makes me smile and think of the guy that took such great care of this old girl long ago.....
