Yes,...you are reading correct! I was driving to pick up my wife in Port Chester, New York and there she was, (the Sy) in the lot of the local Tire place. I HAD to pull over and see the Sy up close. I pull in and the owner is looking for tires. I told him that I owned a Ty and showed him the pic (I was driving my Blazer). We B/S'd for awhile and then I ask,...what number is this?? He says, '#0007 and I think this was the first one for sale to the public.' This was true b/c I checked out the VIN. Well, I wish I had my camera, but I didn't =( .
The truck needs an overhaul on the outside (paint, chips and some of the bed needs to be strightened), engine looked solid, all stock (from what I could see) and the interior was good. He told me that he was going to go to Mexico and get it totally re-done (paint, etc.) The Sy had Connecticut plates on it and he also said that he has had the truck for a few years and I offered to purchase it right then, but he said he isn't going to sell it (oh well, I tried!). I didn't have that much more time to talk, (the wifey is waiting to be picked up), so I told him Good Luck and he said I'll see you around. If I see him again, I will try to snap a few pics and get some more info.
