A tired warrior of the 1980s in a world of low profile tires, front wheel drive, and plastic bumpers, where people stay in their houses until snowplows move the offending substance from their paths, too helpless to travel without AAA and chains and salt, clearing their windows with longhandled brushes while gently stepping around in the snow trying to stay nice and dry.

Sound like a rare find, if only they had listed the miles I would’ve driven over this afternoon and took it for a test drive….

Re: '81 was the first year of the square? Really?

X2 last two posts lol, its in tx so maybe its a mexican truck but look at the side mouldings and the fender badges.... appears to me to be a much later truck like closer to 88?? i know the body style ended in 87 duh except cab n chassis and one tons and burbs but is it just me or do those badges and mouldings look like an 88 square?
