[Vwpickups] instrument cluster

[william thompson]

Oregon has a sick new law. When a car goes to a wrecking yard, it MUST be 
sold for parts. It can NOT be licensed again.  There is a pristine p/u at 
Autocraft here is Salem. Bruce can only part it out. How sad to see such a 
beautiful truck out of existence.
