I was wondering if you might be able to help. I grew up watching the series
in the 70's. My parents even purchased me the radio controlled semi-truck
that GALOOB produced.
I still have the truck in the original box and it is in very good condition.
Would you know of anyone that would be interested in it?
thanks,
Dave <dlouk@zoominternet.net> November 2002
