When I drive it to Home Depot, or to pick up my latest dodgy craigslist find, I usually get at least one person who's interested in it... mostly younger guys who have one like it, or is thinking about getting theirs on the road.

There are so many 'commodity' vehicles on the road today, that even a vintage truck catches people's eye, and brings back memories of something from their childhood, or about someone they loved. Our trucks are like owning a nostalgia-catalyst-ray gun, and shooting everyone you see with it.
I guess that is so.. My truck runs (I drive it to and from work everyday) and I suppose that is better than some people out there. I just want to get started on it! Come on lottery, can I get a few numbers my way?
