  I was one of the fortunate few to see it in the "hangar" at H&M in March of 1977. I actually climbed up and sat in the driver's seat. The was more like being in the cockpit of a jet airplane as there was a sea of gauges . Unfortunately none of us had a camera as the truck was a huge surprise.

Too bad the semi trailer full of parts you guys brought back wasn't from Big Red.
