Here's what made the truck special. 

It NEVER broke down. Four large people rode in it from N. California to Reno (those were the days eh?). It didn't use much gas (gas crunch of the 70's where people were waiting in line at the gas pump for 1.50/gal) It could haul a 16' travel trailer and pull stuck people/vehicles off the beach. LOVED that truck.
