" We have tons of them here."

" Mind you, > we have a lot more double cabs than single cabs,"

but it just adds to the thrill of the chase.

SURE THING....ALL IN WHITE TOO! I love this B.S. on the list these days! I guess no one else is reading this list anymore. I can't believe anyone would listen to this crap!

Like any good bus search, it'd prolly take you several > months to find one. You just stated "we have a ton of them" why would is take months? Maybe you should learn how to read. He stated a "single cab in white"

In the last 15 year I have never seen a sinlge cab in the state of PA. I have seen one in CA, one in WV traveling, and one in TX. None of these in white. I have seen maybe 30 or so double cabs. Also, none in white. PLease quite misleading this guy! You need to check in to just how many of these where made. This alone will tell you enough that your out of line here.
