Weve seen that proved wrong lately. I myself have dozed off a time or two, that constant drone at 70 can get to ya.

man...I'm glad I have those vent windows. Rode w/my sis in her 89 d100 and then ride w/dad and I realized how much I missed those little windows...I've got my own now. That and the semi sound w/a straight pipe is wonderful as well...makes me wish I had a manual transmission.

Roosters, too.

I know that for a fact; as, I saw several coops full, on the back of one, at the goat-sale, the other night.

Saw a real good fight, too; but, that's another story.

1. Clean, basic look.
2. No catalytic converter.
3. Minimal electronics.
4. Manual locking hubs, manual transmission, and manually shifted & gear driven transfer case.
5. My girlfriend digs it; She says the bouncy bench seat is how a real truck is supposed to feel. Gotta love a woman that appreciates fine machinery.
