I know some Fords were called King cabs. I don't know if Chevy took the Queen mantra though.
BTW- Both Ford and Chevy used Crew Cab.

Six Pack was the Chrylser designation for a V8 with 3 two barrel carbs. Like GM's "Tri Power". The big one was a 440 "Six pack" but they also had a 340 "Six Pack".

Have fun doing that carb rebuild, wanna come over and rebuild mine while you're at it?
lol sorry, it's gonna be enough work getting just my own rebuilt....lol

Found out the other day that the HVAC fan speed switch on the Cherokee is worn out, and it only works on the highest setting now. I'm going to see how much a replacement costs, but for now, I might just have to deal with having the fan on full blast. lol

EDIT: The new Power Wagons are pretty different from regular Ram trucks...at least on the ones I've read about, the Power Wagons have:

- A factory-installed electric winch
- Electronically-disconnecting front sway bar (disconnecting it helps with suspension articulation)
- Special suspension
- Unique wheels

I read a review of one in a Four Wheeler magazine once. The test vehicle had all of the above features, plus a Hemi (or at least the Hemi Magnum).

I read it the other way around at first, I thought it was an anti-Ford remark. But I laughed when I reread it.

At least I got a laugh out of it. :P

I think people with an account can add to articles and have it show up right away. As soon as a moderator finds it though, it'll get removed.

Gonna get that carb rebuilt sometime this week.

Funnily enough, that was the one part of his post where I could actually tell WTF he was trying to say.
