With all respect to john, I think the 87-91s had a face only a mother could love. Theres some things i like about em like old school controls and kingpins in the 350s. But if i had one id have to put a 92+ front clip on it. Or a paper bag.

I agree wholeheartedly, there's a reason they are called brick nose.

That's part of the reason I love 'em! I love bricks! That's why I love Dodges up till 1993. Chevy's up to 1987, and Fords up to 1991.
Same goes for cars, nothing like a 5000lbs 1977 Lincoln Continental, with a 460, C6 towing package with 3.73 gears, oh boy what a cruiser
With all the aerodynamics of a brick

N/A diesels. Motorhomes. Bricknoses. Cowboy boots. Your kiester's gotta be harder than your engine block!
