Yeah I get that here all the time even with my 350 v8. Young guys come up, with that look in their eyes of wonder and respect and always ask "What year is it?" Sesenta y nueve Then they just stand there staring at it, drooling almost, and my truck is NOTHING to look at!

I tried the camping in my original camper that came with the truck when I bought it in '97 but the little woman didn't go for it at all. Shame really. Ended up selling it to a neighbor and putting my truck to a life of hard labor.
