You didn't by chance go to NTI last year did you? I could have swore I saw this truck all the time in the parking lot...

i've always wanted a truck like that, but with a 5 speed, so since they practically don't exist, I'll probably never have one. Such a sweet machine. However, those taillights?

get one with a 4.3 there are manuals all over with the v6 then you can swap in a v8.
