Mind you, ours are 2WD (NOT 4x4) and are equipped with a large enclosed 26' cargo van body...nonetheless, in my neck of the woods, you can operate such a truck with your Class "G" (regular car) Driver's Licence. That's one cool, big pick-um-up. I'd love to have one.  Regards, Wannabe

But, it's a 1946 Farmall A tractor I bought for $1200. Those International trucks have become really popular in Georgia as recovery vehicles. But, a pickup? I think it's just an advertising gimmick. Still, there will be 30 rich people in north Atlanta who will have to have one to get to the UGA football games. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 29,798 Kettle Custodian (pot stirrer) | | Kettle Custodian (pot stirrer) Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 29,798 | That one's just a tinkertoy! Shoot the moon and get a real truck! This one weighs 90 tons, and hauls 90 tons. It's a KW Dart, like my friend used to drive on the Melones dam project in California.
