I was thinking while driving Big Green back from the in-laws tonight about why I have a big bolt. Man it sure would be easier to own a "normal" size truck. But that's not it. I think the big trucks have a whole different character to them. Green is now 61 years old and his ( yes big bolts are referred to as males in my world ) almost animalistic desire to live and work are amazing. Personally I like the look of the big trucks better, the ability to really work them helps too. I make my living with my truck and drive it daily. Even if I'm not working with him, I prefer to drive it over my late model ram or the wife's jetta. I love the dents, rust, scratches and peeling paint. I love the quirks, cracked glass and little miracles that seem to happen when something trivial is repaired like dash lights or turn signals. I guess what I'm getting at is, why do you own a big bolt? What drives us to keep working on them and scouring the land and Internet for parts that are much harder to find? You have heard a few if my reasons. What are yours?
