The First Real Truck I ever drove was a 1966 Diamond TA, rebuilt it, a bulldozer, and a road grader first, (had to make a road up the side of a mountain) then pulled a motorhome from Nevada mountains to Yucca Valley CA. I think the only "suspension" that thing had was the springs in under the seat. LOL

Had a diesel suburban . sold it a few years back awesome gas mileage but when something broke it cost alot to repair.

wife and I are going to be looking for a truck within the next year looking at diesel and gas both. not sure which way we will end up going. but it will be a GMC or Chevy only. 8)

Those '06 Super Duties are some sharp looking trucks.  The F150s back then were nice looking too, now they are hideous.
