And here's this gem... at least it was the first time I saw it. He replaced all the front sheet metal on it since I last saw it, not sure why. It's a bit mismatched now, but it was one of the cleanest original stock trucks rolling around here (even has the upper tailgate trim). Also, I guess this is how my phone takes action pictures... hmm, does that give the illusion of speed or what? Too bad the pic doesn't do it justice... next time I guess I'll just stop.
We need more pics in here guys... I've been saving some for later dates to keep this thread going!

There are at least three or four 7th gens around town in my area, I'll try to snap a few pictures if I remember to. One popped up on craigslist about a week ago, same price as I got mine for and in better shape, but that's irrelevant.

If I look out my back porch, this is what I see.
Stopped by one day to see if the owner wanted to sell. Supposedly he wanted to "give" it to me for "free" whenever he finds the title. A year later and no such luck yet. I think he likes it as a yard ornament. Story is, he bought it to transport lumber and one day the motor started knocking so he parked it. So there she sits rotting into the ground and I have to see it every time I look out into my backyard.

There you go, Displacement. With dually fenders on the back, you could fit some huge drag slicks under your rig without narrowing the rear end. They'd let you really hook up and plant all that big block power on the ground.
Now that would be cool and unusual.
Just thinking out loud.
