I cant find any place im my GMC that a magnet will stick to. <br />The best truck ever built was the old 50's Dodge Power Wagon - some are still around at remote military bases. <br /><br />the Ol'BuzzardOl'Buzzardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00075162476463971258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875411665185029467.post-82009271509721110742011-05-25T08:19:21.803-04:002011-05-25T08:19:21.803-04:00I've had '60 Ford, '70 Ford, '79 F...I've had '60 Ford, '70 Ford, '79 Ford, and a '95 Ford. Also have a '79 Jeep pickup and a '73 Dodge 4x4. At one time I had a '87 Ranger but the box was too small. At the time it served because most of the time I used it to haul me and my tool boxes around when I worked as a migrant aircraft mechanic. If a sheet of plywood will fit in the box and can close the tailgate, that's big enough for me, but the new trucks are on steroids. You almost have to stand on something to see into the box.Kulkurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09198195648066700925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875411665185029467.post-80890920119770199162011-05-24T22:35:50.783-04:002011-05-24T22:35:50.783-04:00Thought the same for a long time. 1950 to 1970...Thought the same for a long time. 1950 to 1970's trucks were truly half-tons. As long as you can get a sheet of plywood in the box and close the endgate, how big does a truck have to be? Buy a three ton "farm truck" if you need something that big.The Blog Fodderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11441978691701289074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875411665185029467.post-61579446236648275292011-05-24T20:05:36.360-04:002011-05-24T20:05:36.360-04:00Big egos need big trucks, well, small egos need bi...Big egos need big trucks, well, small egos need big trucks.<br /><br />That 71 body style, damn good body and trucks.BBChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323188240580782454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875411665185029467.post-8396483863421918212011-05-24T17:17:36.625-04:002011-05-24T17:17:36.625-04:00someone asked me the other day when I was going to...someone asked me the other day when I was going to wash my truck..I said to the best of my knowledge washing it won't make it go any faster or get better gas mileage..and excuse me??? it's a fucking truck.yellowdoggrannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14906624317290990109noreply@blogger.com
