That looks a LOT like the Dodge WWII field ambulance we had in our Civil Air Patrol Squadron when I was in HS. Not fast, would would go anywhere.

Re: [MBZ] What is a Truck? OT Here is a real truck.....
Don, That would be the M43...The same basic truck with a bit more wheelbase and an enclosed body...Like you saidSlow as snails. Don't sink one in a mudhole.It will be better left there for a bridge piling as a D9 will have a rough time dragging it out...LOL Mike - Original Message - From: OK Don [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Sent: Thursday, February 01, 2007 9:58 PM Subject: Re: [MBZ] What is a Truck?

CA is strange that way too. P/U with a bed top is a car. P/U without is a commercial truck and costs about 600.00/year more to register it.

Re: [MBZ] What is a Truck? (OT)
Nah, not that much. They just assess a weight fee. For a 7640 lb truck, it's $350. About $50 less for a 6260 lb truck, and about $50 less than that if you get one that is under 6000 lbs. Don't ask how I know this :) On Wed, Jan 31, 2007 at 05:39:18PM -0800, John Freer wrote: CA is strange that way too. P/U with a bed top is a car.

Re: [MBZ] What is a Truck? (OT)
OK is the opposite - their are a LOT of small businesses created here because teh tags are considerably (half?) cheaper for commercial vehicles than for private vehicles. A four door pickup with leather seats is almost mandatory in the posh neighborhoods here -- On Wed, Jan 31, 2007 at 05:39:18PM -0800, John Freer wrote: CA is strange that way too.

Re: [MBZ] What is a Truck? OT Here is a real truck.....
I bet you are like Moses and the Red Sea when you drive that thing in traffic, and signal a lane change. I found my old Blazer worked like that in Boston traffic, esp rotaries where it was survival of the fittest. --R Mike Canfield wrote: Here are a couple pics of my daily driven 68 Dodge M37 with it's whopping 78HP flathead 6. ;) This is what I think a TRUCK is.

Re: [MBZ] What is a Truck? OT Here is a real truck.....
ExactlyI get the occasional idiot that doesn't want to budge. I have a 2 blink rule..My signals blink twice and the lane change happens...Causes the occasional rude single finger and horn blowing but no one ever really argues.Putting bigger(39 instead of 35) tires on it tomorrow so the effect will be better.LOLOL Mike - Original Message - From: Rich Thomas [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Sent: Thursday, February 01, 2007 2:11 PM Subject: Re: [MBZ] What is a Truck?
