My brother-in-law had a large '73 Chevy truck like this not long ago. Last weekend he bought a 1-ton Ford truck with a 7 liter engine. He is one of those people who needs a big truck.
What a way to drive down memory lane. I don't know the cost of gas there, but I wouldn't want to "feed" one of these things in France. Actually, not even in the US. That's a great shot you got of it.
I thought big vehicles was a uniquely U.S. thing. Somehow I rather like seeing that it's more universal, though they're not terribly practical as a "pleasure" vehicle.

ReplyDeleteSo American. How can the owner afford to fill the tank in Europe?
ReplyDeleteThat is a very good question Bob. I'm guessing he only drives it every now and then.
