I'd be willing to bet 20/30 years from now there will be more 73/87's still on the road than these new tin/plastic crap trucks.

73/87's FOREVER......

Haha, I sure agree! All them new GM, Dodge, Ford and Impo$t trucks are ugly and built like a Bic disposable lighter.

Comparing the looks alone of the new model trucks (GM, FORD, DODGE) I'd have to go with a Dodge before I would the others. You're right the new Gm's are just downright FUGLY!!!!

Last one that I know of is when they used a red/white mid 80's k5 parked near the beach. That was a 2 second blip on a 30 second spot, but most of us here noticed it.

I guess to see square bodies on my TV I'm going to have to wait for 80's tv shows to start coming out on DVD. Fall Guy and CHiPs were two that had killer trucks on them.

The Fall Guy season 1 came out on DVD back on June 6! I already have my copy of it! Love watching that truck! ...Joe

I think I'll write them and send pics of some trucks from the forum and tell them to contact us and use the square bodies in the next ad!!!

Excellent idea! If you find out who to contact, post it here. Maybe if we all get together and badger them, they will use some 73-87s next time! ...Joe
