<VV> No-option cars and trucks

[Mark Corbin]

Trucks had a different list of content than cars. So that's like comparing

Offhand, I'd say that your truck DID at least have a trans option to it,
even if the interior was a bit of a "stripper". Not a total stripper....

BTW, none of the FC's ever had backup lights.
