Very cool. I toured the old H-1 hummer plant in college and remember how cool it was. I would love to see how my dream Superduty is made.

Not to Bash the job or the workers: "At the very end of the plant is the customer acceptance line. In that area every inch of the truck is carefully inspected inside and out under intensely bright lights." All the times we have taken delivery of a truck mis-built having completely wrong decals on, or missing one wheel lip moulding on one side. Just amazing how that can be missing in such a well lighted area.
