Nope, not a thing. I saw it as I was going downtown. I swung around and snagged some pics.

Re: Saw This One Yesterday!

That's cool, but to me it looks almost like it was originally built that way, but by a separate company like the extended cab trucks that are 1973-1987.

Power for power. A 5.9 turbo diesel from Cummings is the way to go!! Plenty of them around too. Since '99!!

Re: Saw This One Yesterday!

just to keep things as american as possible, It needs a 502 gas guzzler, no passengers except the driver (me) and lots of jealous stares. Id Drive that thing to the store to get 1 pack of cigarettes. I wouldnt park, just block 7 people at a time in their spots while i go buy 1 coke or 1 pack of cigs.
