death of regular cab pickups

I'll bet less than 1% know what an HPOP is?

And less than half of that even care.

I just gave my great grandson my 81 Chevy C10 today. I hope he comes to pick it up soon. It will need a little work to get it going again. It's been sitting since 2016 but ran when parked.

Good stuff. Hope he understands what he is having the opportunity to own.

I think he does. I gave him the shop manual for it to take home and look over. He spent over an hour going over the truck inside and out. He was grinning ear to ear. He's 16 now but doesn't have a driver's license yet. I think he said next month.

Good on you. Jewels in your Crown.

I have a long bed quad cab 4x4 truck with Cummins diesel. It has done lots of work hauling firewood, hay, cargo, and trailers. Lots of work trucks are 4 doors because they need to haul more than 2 or 3 people. A standard cab truck with manual transmission is basically a two person vehicle. Many loggers use quad cabs to haul crews in the woods and refer to them as “6 packs.” Having 2 or 4 doors has nothing to do with their use for work.

I grew up in the timber country of E. Oregon. Small lumber mill town. All the ''6 packs" in those days were called "crummies" because that's all all the Dodges looked after a week in the woods.
