Remember when they made inexpensive plain work trucks? That is what I would like to see again. Rubber floor mats, manual windows, AM radio (or none at all), Std. shift, one seat, 8' bed.

Yeah, me too! And I suppose this is the part that has me adding "points distributer" to the list? And the cost! MY GAWD, I could buy a darn nice used house for the money! And it's no use pointing out that I can order a "plain" one. (I wonder HOW plain that could be?) I'd never waste money buying a new truck cause I don't ENJOY trucks, I just use them as a TOOL! Even so, when I do wear one out, the used truck prices are just NUTS! Five years ago, when I went out looking, ten year old trucks with 160 K on them were booking for 8 grand! I finally got a good deal on my current Ford with 180K on the clock for 35 hundred, but it had been fixed up on a salvage title. I'm now pushing 250 K and putting it back together periodically with wire and tie straps (litterally sometimes)and I DREAD the day I have to go and find another truck with a full size bed.
