If you take the chassis out you can identify it yourself as far as the year. The type A/B is easily classified and had been. I am with you as far as knowing about your gear. Don't get me wrong here. I was being facetious. You don't remember Bud Dry do you? This board at times can get relatively humorous. Sorry if I offended you. At times it is hard to tell when something is being poked at or not I guess because it is the nature of the written word to be perceived differently by different people. Again, I was just having fun. :lol:
