Never quite understood the point of a truck that couldn’t hold a sheet of plywood proper with the tailgate closed.
I agree with BAD1916...people flock around my '72 Suburban when it's out and about! Some want to tell stories about their Suburban memories and others want to ask questions about the missing door!?! It comes down to personal preferences...and I prefer a versatile vehicle that pretty much does it all...hauls people and materials as well as getting some attention even in "project" condition. Also...rear A/C in mine, but needs work!
