CL find 78 1/2 ton California Mini-Diesel??

I don't think they were doing the 6.2 in '78 so I assume it was a Oldsmobile 350 diesel; either way, looks pretty badass. I wonder if it was a local dealer package or something. dig the stripes, cab lights and push bumper.

A tired warrior of the 1980s in a world of low profile tires, front wheel drive, and plastic bumpers, where people stay in their houses until snowplows move the offending substance from their paths, too helpless to travel without AAA and chains and salt, clearing their windows with longhandled brushes while gently stepping around in the snow trying to stay nice and dry.

The problem is going to be 6 years of fees and penalties, unless it has been nonopp'ed.

I dont think it will have fees since it has to be filed as a lost title

That truck is WAY COOL!!!! Take the engine out as fast as you can and give it to someone you dont like...then drop a 350 in it and you will have a really neat truck.
