Fred -- It's okay -- Norse's top one is a Jimmy. And that Binder? At least someone on the International assembly line is a distant relation to Billy Durant, so it's cool, too.

So let it be written, so let it be done.

Norse's other examples are Stupidbakers, aren't they?
I guess I shouldn't call 'em that. I like Studebakers. Too bad they're one of the fallen flags since they had a good product as far as I know and they came from an aristocratic line, wagons! They came up the hard way, you might say.

manly is as manly does!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sorry Norse, I stand corrected, just trying to have a little fun, and what is the first pix...

Joy, show them what a real girl drives,,,Fred

This was the manliest truck I\'ve ever been in, but I must say actually driving my \'45 2 ton is very manly also. I enjoy shifting, clutching before and after, engine whinning, old truck smell once you get going because the air cirulates and the first smell of mouse leave the cab. Then slowing down to go around the corner, flick on signal,clutching, neutral,clutching, a little gas ,shifting.. a little more gas,flick off the directional, and it starts all over again. I love it when I stop at a light and a person sitting in the car next to me, starts by looking at the size of the tires, then there eyes follow the lines of the "big" fenders and they realize they are not looking at any vehicle. It always brings a smile to their face.

Swampy, Right on! Studebaker DID make wagons. If you've ever seen the Southern States Percheron show hitch that used to travel around, their hitch wagon was built on a Studebaker running gear. I think one or two of the Budweiser hitch wagons may be studebakers, too, but I'm not sure.

One our Mennonite neighbors even has a Studebaker wagon. Maybe someday I can finally convince him to sell it to me.

Fred, yer cool. We're just joking around.

Joy, If you put a pickup bed on your 2 ton, it will be much manlier than the first posts new truck

This may not be the most manly truck but try
checking the oil on this baby, I know Tonym, it is not a million bees but they still sting, got hit by about 12 of them,,check out my website, misc under wasp,,,,it is the most non-chevy manly truck that I own,,,,Fred

Hold it, hold it... you have to see this before a decision can be made:

sorry, this is not a truck

Sure it is -- it's a chassis with a refrigeration box attached.

My yard dog is the manliest one I own. None of those sissy hydraulic brakes. It has armstrong power assist brakes. I believe it would lift its own weight. I pulled down an oak with it the other day.
the yard dog

Cletis is right,, this is a manly truck,,I have seen it, and it is also on his site,,,so I deem him the winner, glad to see you made it back to Texas.....Fred

Hey! The manliest truck is just a little younger than me. Makes me feel much better.

Ok i think we can stop unless someone can top that RV thing.

Smokey that truck you posted copuld be manly but once it is out for sale it will be filled with soccer moms "thundering" throught a neighborhood near you.

My 72 with headers and magnaflow mufflers.When I kick it into passing gear it releases all kinds of manly bodily functions.You can really hear it winding up.

Dang Joker, they sure like that truck. They keep coming back. I have found that once I find a nest like that you have to kill every one of them because the workers come back and fix a new nest within days. So keep checking that area and keep killing them with that spray.

I also learned to knock(tap on the hood) before I open it,,I applied ice right away and the next day you could hardly tell that I got stung,,

hmn.. the international is purty cool...

but I wonder how I could sweet talk Joy into letting me cruise down to the gas station in the '45 2 ton... hmnn...

Manliest truck?

Well, the manliest truck I've ever driven was a 1951 Dodge M37. The steering is so hard that the g/f literally cannot turn the wheel if it's moving under 10 MPH, and she's a softball player, so she's got a good set of arms. None of the gears are synchronized, the clutch throw is a foot and a half long, it's got a flathead dodge sixer that is completely waterproof (my military officer said that with the snorkel kit, you'd drown the driver before you'd drown the truck), and if you don't start it JUST right, you get gas in the oil, and it won't start for anything, so you have to drain the oil, new spark plugs, new oil filter, then *maybe* it'll start. Besides, how cool is it to have the ignition button be a pedal just over the accelerator pedal? SWEET! That truck is literally one where one foot is on the gas, the other is on the clutch, one hand is on the steering wheel (unless you're turning it...ack.) and the other is on the shifter (which, might I add is 2-1/2 feet long )

Oh yeah, did I mention that I pull-started a deuce and a half with one of them once? THAT was fun - floor it, slip the clutch to get it going, hit 2nd reeealy quick (well, as fast as you can hit an unsynchronized 2nd) and keep it going up to about 20 mph. then you feel this jerk that feels like it's going to rip the frame out from under it, and then it gets real easy and you hear the turbocharged multifuel in that big kaiser whining along behind you.

Woogeroo, You wouldn't have to sweet talk me! We'd take the long way to the gas station. First of all, I'd have to drive it there, than I would let you drive it back home. As long as you don't grind all my gears down to nothing. When Tony and I first dated, he use to grind a gear or two once in a while and he use to say, "next year they're making them out of rubber" Of course, what did I know. I use to believe him. How I know his head is made out of rubber!!! :p

Actually, next year they are making the gears out of water, so you can pour them together.
