I remember those days. Back when a couple of guys could build something cool and not be hassled by bureaucrats and the government agencies with stuff like emissions, lift laws and such.

Yes they have some of these laws for a reason and there is still a whole lot of beer bottle engineering going on but those still were the days.

Now we have the tree huggers and flower smellers trying to take everything away. Not going to happen here, my driveway is still open to projects as they say.

I remember King Kong. I do believe Bigfoot was built before it, but it was still an awesome truck. It had a detroit diesel in it.
