According to my Grandfather, he bought it from the University of Arkansas in 1971 and it has been in the family ever since. It has seen a LOT of use being used as a truck should be used… working!!

It’s interesting there were at least 9,191 Explorers out there in 69.

Anyway, I just thought I would share!

That sounds great. I would like to add an Explorer equipped truck to my collection one day.
