I'm going to give you a piece of advice if you are going to buy a three-quarter ton or 1 ton pickup truck. As soon as you come home from the dealership take the shock absorbers off of it and throw them away and buy a set of Rancho rs9000.

The only thing that comes close is a motorcycle, but that's completely different as well. I started with a '74 Caprice, then a C5 Corvette, and finally a Bicentennial Edition Eldorado (the last full size ragtop) ... View more
