Nothing like those old trucks. I could take down a 3" thick tree with that Jimmy and just but a little ding in the bumper. Todays trucks it would do $2,000 to $4,000 worth of damage and now that I think about it throw in another $1,500 fir the air bag replacement.

I for got about my 98 olds which was bigger then a cad. It also had a 454 and I paid $75 for the car and drove it for about a year and sold it for $200. Only problem with the car is it had no reverse so you had to watch where you parked.
