I bet the military treats em nice compared to how i run these orignal old trucks haha. THree years of driving its let me down once, when the starter solenoid went bad. Waited five minutes started up and drive it home. My 77 went from hauling goats to being a 16 year olds first truck, which i abused and treated like a race car, won a few against some people too. Im not afriad to go anywhere in my truck.
