Road trips are fun in these old trucks. I look forward to my 4000 mile round trip I take to Chicago 2-3 times a year. Well not really....

Last road trip I towed close to 6000 lbs up and down the mountains all the way to Illinois from Phoenix. On all the trips I have taken to Chicago, probably 7 in the burb, she has never let me down except for that blown tire back in Albuquerque last time. Well that was probably more my falt that the old burb

Try driving around East Texas; I can't go 50 miles without seeing at least 10 to 15 of these trucks. Everyone has one around here.

What some guy will do just to outclass the old man. I always thought taking the 68 to Mexico once a year qualified me for bragging rights. Now I come up 900 miles short. Nice job!
