This truck kicks ass. First, because its a long bed style pick up. A lot of the old school trucks were short beds for whatever reason. I miss the old school trucks too, with all of the chrome. It sucks that the truck dunked, but the tires and wheel base was way too narrow for boating. I am guessing the computer software never factored in water sports. X -D Anyways the hair stood on my neck when it dunked. Great vid, but my heart was left broken in the end. Lol
