I just don't see the point of even having a truck if you're not going to do truck stuff with it.
Old 'bolts aren't tissue paper cream puffs.. they were built to work, and work hard.. most of them been worked all their lives like a rented mule, and they'll still do the job today.
Sure most don't have power steering, or air conditioning, or cushy heated leather seats.. but thats because they were built for the working man to get work done.. not to shuttle some high society soccer mom to Starbucks for a double late.
But different strokes for different folks.
