Wow! Nice looking truck. What size is the bed? 7'?

Thanks, Fiona. Yes, it is a shame. But like I said up front, I know there's not much I can do about it. What totally amazed me is how this type of truck has disappeared off the face of the earth. Particularly the used car market. Where'd they all go? I just don't get the short open bed. I...

Wouldn't you rather have your groceries covered from the rain, or more secure if you decided to make a stop or two after the grocery store? I don't see an advantage over a Suburban.

Well said, Butch, and here's a pic I took today of the changed times.

Yes, I totally understand that. What I'm missing is, what changed in our culture about how people haul stuff around in their pickup trucks? Oregon is probably a more "Joe Homeowner-Do it Yourself" state than most others, and yet I'm told there is no market for a truck with an 8' bed. Or, you...

Squish, I'm off to the Ford dealer. What models and years are yours?

This is just a rant. There's nothing I can do about it. If you're under 30, don't bother reading. This week I decided to go look for a new work truck to replace my 38-yr-old Chevy C-10 that I've had for 21 years. It has a regular cab that seats 2-3 people in front, and an 8' bed with a...
