Abrooks, I know that.
I also like trucks, but here in New York no one buys trucks unless you are a contractor. But we like our 4 wheel drives as it snows a lot here.
I don't really care what I drive, I spend my money on this.
I don't know if I would call this a truck but this 1960 Willy's Jeep was a huge money maker for me as at the time, there were almost no 4 wheel drives. I got it for $700.00 and made double that the first time it snowed. I used to make almost $2,000.00 a day with it and that was in the 70s when I didn't make that much money in weeks. It helped me buy my house here. I re built the military engine and replaced the pistons and valves. It had an "F" head Willys military engine which had 4 valves in the head and 4 valves in the block.
It was designed to run completely underwater. (try that with your Chevy)
The spark plug wires were in plumbing pipes and the distributer cap looked like a fire hydrant. The connecting rods were about a foot long, compared to a corvette which are about 4". The thing was only designed for power and nothing could match it. It had a Low, Low range where it would only go about 3mph. But you could drive it up to a brick wall. Get out and walk away and the 4 wheels would still be turning. You could not stop it. I used to pull taxi cabs out of mountains of snow "sideways". I also used to pull put tree stumps and take down trees. You couldn't stop it and you couldn't dent it, not even with a good size hammer.
The gray sides were from radiator covers in the Chrysler Building in Manhattan when I was working there.
Check out my hair.
I am a little past my Macho days, But I did have a few years of them
