Re: Intended purpose of our trucks

One thing's for sure, I don't think there has ever been a motor vehicle out there built with the intention of being a show vehicle. Not even the six figure Pebble Beach wonders of the world.

This was the intended purpose of the '71 Custom Camper I had. Play not work. I'm not one to break rules (), so I obliged accordingly. I did run it with the tonneau as a cruise-about between excursions and even clamped the ladder rack on and worked it when my main worker was down. That is what is so great about trucks, they are multi-use. I think that's why they outsell cars these days. The general population finally "gets it". There used to be a stigma among white collars about being seen in a truck. Now they are taken to the office.
