You would be supprised which car companies used to build Trucks.Years ago,I used to see someone driving an Oldsmobile pickup truck around town.
Of course,in World War Two,things were different.Cadillac built some Tanks for our U.S.Military.
Detroit stuff isn't crap.Who do you think helped Japan rebuild auto/truck factories in Japan after World War Two? U.S.A.did. Give me Detroit stuff anyday! cuhulin
