Where have you been? have you been hiding underneath a Fox News commercial? Haven’t you been watching NBC sports on the Olympics? You don’t have to be one or the other, you just have to identify as either at the opportune moment.

Just ask the boxing girls who got slapped down by the politically correct men (biological) boxing them…

Spotted at my club's annual car show.

1987 2.5, automatic. Pretty neat build.

Seams were filled on the back of the cab, looked like the radio antenna had been filled and relocated to behind the cab. Pretty customized interior, lowered with different wheels and painted a different color. He won third in the customized truck class, first and second were borderline monster trucks entered by a diesel shop.

That truck is nearly perfect... just needs different wheels 😶 not exactly era correct.
