Vehicle Story
I remember as a 5-year-old boy standing on the seat of the truck, leaning against my Daddy with his arm as my seatbelt. The sound of the old-school V8 settles into its idle. It doesn't just hum, it thumps, a deep, rhythmic bum bum, bum bum sound that resonates through the cab. It came alive everytime you eased up to a stop sign. It's the kind of sound only a truck with real age, character, and attitude can make. The nickname stuck with the family because it captured the truck's personality: a rough, beat up, working, fishing, and hunting truck. All the ways that make a classic worth loving for many years to come. -Randy Richard
