I have a soft spot for old steel, especially the pre-smog era vehicles that I can get to run better than they were designed: get better mileage and power on a small budget.

Love Diesel! Would own a diesel Harley if I could.

Making things work that shouldn't, hunting as much as possible, repairing farm equipment, restoring tractors, building tougher trucks out of tough trucks, and hitting the bullseye whenever I pull a trigger

There are always greater parts to be added, bigger and tougher than what was meant to exist on that platform.
Combine an agricultural tractor with your hard average overworked truck and you have something special.
