[Spridgets] Another British engine (not)

Suitable work trucks are still available, although I don't know what you have to do to get one.

We had some work done on our house a couple of years ago and our carpenter had a fairly new Ford pickup.  It was white, very plain, I don't think it even had carpet.

I visit big construction sites occasionally and it seems that those guys all have plain new pickup trucks.  Maybe they buy them as fleets.

A family that we know is in the ranching business.  They all drive very plain 3/4 ton trucks.  They buy them without beds and put their own beds on them.



> I've thought for some now that IF i was to need a truck for my business (I do not have a business.) I would seriously consider buying a good, semi-restored classic truck, a model with decent parts availability, and just keep fixing it forever.  SEMI-restored should make it noticeably cheaper to buy than a new truck, noticeably cheaper and easier to repair, and the right classic would get you noticed too ('free' advertising ;-)).
