Nice '73. A simple truck from a simpler time. White painted bumpers and white painted hubcaps give it that "no nonsense" look. A look that hasn't came out of Detroit in a long, long time.

You could call mine some sort of plain jane, no AC for a California truck ect. What I like about my truck is, this is how I would have ordered one back then, big motor, HD components.

And don't you just hate the massive, glittering grilles on the new trucks? Not to mention needing a ladder to check the oil, even on a base 1500.
