I do'nt believe the Duramax has enough shocks under it. I think it would ride too rough for my tastes.

I'm looking into getting a truck in the next couple of years. As a child, my dad had restored a truck about the time I was born... a '77 F-150 Custom with an 8' bed. I always loved it. I like a lot of trucks... but I think I want a '73-'79 long bed truck... I looked at one that had an extended cab even... but I think that's a little too much. But I want that long bed. I guess he had it at an impressionable age. He sold it to my neighbor who drove it for a couple of years and then sold it to a junk yard I guess dad should have kept it!!!

Here are a copule of picutres of it after my dad got the engine going and painted it.

Matt beat me to the punch. I doubt anyone who ever bought a Ridgeline ever knew what a truck was really for. The box floor is made of plastic! It is only a truck when you compare it to a Honda Civic - it isn't a really truck. Trucks are not uni-body. But I am in love with Ford trucks right now! That thing 'Space posted is pretty sweet, but I'd give my right ******** for a 6.2L Raptor! Okay, maybe only the left one. The Chev's are cool too, but not exciting like the Ford's.

I find it ironic that Toyota actually has more trucks then cars in their line-up, but they still don't have a decent share of the market. How is that company staying a float? Smoke and mirrors?

HAHAHA!! Were you wondering when I lost all the weight and shaved my beard?

And your left nut ain't no good, you use the right one.

Never checked out a Ridgeline... got a good laugh when I saw it was the "toughest" truck. I think the "trunk in a truck" was a pretty neat idea though.

Lifted from Autoblog who lifted it from College Humor. That takes 8 *****...

Capable of towing 18 other trucks and making a new home for a beached whale, the Ferd F-Teenthousand comes with chest hair upholstery and a beard in the glove box. In fact, it's so big and brutal that the United States government has apparently classified it as a tank. And not just one tank, eight tanks.
